Giants haven’t given up on keeping Dexter Lawrence

Giants defensive sort out Dexter Lawrence wants out. The Giants aren’t giving up but.

As reported by Paul Schwartz of the New York Postthrough SB Nation, the powers-that-be want to keep Lawrence in New York.

“We are working together to get the best outcome for the Giants team,” coach John Harbaugh instructed Schwartz. “We also respect Dexter fully as a person and player and want him to be happy. “We are doing everything we can, as best we can, as responsibly as we can.”

Schwartz writes that the Giants are “willing to give [Lawrence] a significant financial upgrade” over the $20 million he is as a consequence of make in 2026. Lawrence, nonetheless, “is dug in on what he wants.”

“Significant” is within the eye of the beholder. The Giants might imagine it is “significant.” Lawrence apparently does not imagine it is “significant” sufficient.

Per Schwartz, the Giants are keen to commerce Lawrence. They desire a first-round decide within the 2026 draft.

If that is the way in which it goes, here is the way it ought to unfold. One, the Giants and Lawrence discover a group that’s keen to fulfill each the commerce necessities and the contract expectations. Two, Lawrence quietly submits to a bodily within the coming days. Three, the commerce occurs when the group buying Lawrence is on the clock in spherical one.

That’s the easiest way to place the Giants to accumulate a first-round decide with out getting leap frogged by one other group that may precisely predict the participant the Giants would need in that spot. But it requires, above all else, excessive discretion by everybody concerned.
