Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II has requested a trade after seven seasons in New York, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
has requested a trade, and he will not be participating in the team's offseason workout program that begins Tuesday, league sources told ESPN . Lawrence and the Giants have been through two offseasons attempting to negotiate a contract reflecting his value to the Giants over the last three years, but there has not been any progress, per sources.
Lawrence has two years remaining on his deal and is currently scheduled to make $20 million this upcoming season. Initially there had been optimism that, with changes in the organization, discussions could move forward. But now that they haven't, new Giants head coach John Harbaugh will open his team's offseason program this week without one of his best players. "How important is he? Really important," Harbaugh said about Lawrence in February. "He's super, super important. He's a cornerstone football player -- not really a cornerstone, more like the middle stone. He's right in the middle. He's a very big stone, and he's a very active, athletic one." Lawrence has been selected to three Pro Bowls and picked as a second-team All-Pro twice since the Giants drafted him No. 17 overall in 2019. But 2025 was a down year, as he was limited to just half a sack, eight quarterback hits and a pass rush win rate of 8.3% for a 4-13 team.Copyright © 2026 ESPN Internet Ventures. All rights reserved.
