New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has reportedly requested a trade from the team and made it clear to the organization that he will not be at the team's offseason workouts.
Lawrence has been trying to “negotiate a contract that reflects his value to the Giants” for the past two years, but talks have remained stalled, ESPN reported Monday. Discussions on a new deal have reportedly not moved forward even with John Harbaugh as head coach.

The burly 340-pound defensive lineman is a three-time Pro Bowler and has been with the Giants through some tough seasons. Despite that, he has been one of their best defensive players since the team selected him in the first round of the 2019 draft out of Clemson.
Lawrence has 30.5 sacks, 15 pass deflections and 341 tackles in 109 career games with New York.

Last season, Lawrence played in all 17 games for the first time in his career. He had one interception in addition to 31 tackles and half a sack.
The 28-year-old signed a four-year contract extension with the Giants in 2023, worth $87.5 million. He has two years left on his current contract. They would pay him $18.5 million in 2026 and $15.5 million if a new deal is not negotiated.

It's unclear which team would be interested in trading for Lawrence. But with the NFL Draft right around the corner, New York would likely expect at least two picks from any team that trades Lawrence.
