NFL Insider Casts Doubt on Dexter Lawrence’s Future After Giants Trade to Bengals
The New York Giants have traded star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick, a move that NFL Insider Connor Hughes suggests was driven by the Giants’ belief that Lawrence’s “best days are behind him.” Despite his Pro Bowl history, Lawrence, 29, is coming off his worst season, according to Hughes, making him a valuable asset for the Giants to acquire a high draft pick.
The Bengals subsequently signed Lawrence to a one-year, $28 million extension, hoping he can bolster their struggling defense, while the Giants aim to rebuild with young talent from the draft.
