Report: Giants, Dexter Lawrence reach "an impasse"
A trade now becomes a real possibility.
On Tuesday, Giants G. M. Joe Schoen said the team has had " good conversations " with the representatives for defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.
They apparently haven't been good enough. Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the two sides have reached " an impasse . " The Giants have talked to other teams about a possible trade.
Per Rapoport, those talks will continue. He adds that the situation "should come to a head" before the draft, which starts in only nine days. Lawrence, who is due to make $20 million in 2026, wants a raise.
Last month's new contract between the Eagles and defensive tackle Jordan Davis, which bumped his new-money APY to $26 million, was a major factor for Lawrence. Lawrence is signed through 2027. If a trade happens, his next team will need to have a deal in place with Lawrence.
