Dexter Lawrence trade rumors: NY Giants want a first-round pick in return | Big Blue View Skip to main content A New York Giants CommunityBig Blue ViewApril 16, 2026Big Blue View Sections News Could the Giants get what they want? Unfortunately, we might find out. If the New York Giants end up having to trade defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, they want “a first-round pick and possibly more,” according to a report from NFL insider Ari Meirov. The Giants “won’t entertain any deal” that doesn’t include that much, per Meirov. The possibility of the Giants trading Lawrence rose on Tuesday night with the news that contract talks between Lawrence and the Giants had reached “an impasse.” Lawrence, 28, has two years remaining on a four-year, $90 million contract extension he signed in 2024. When Lawrence signed that deal, he was the third-highest paid defensive tackle in football. Now, his average annual value per year is tied for 11th with Daron Payne of the Washington Commanders. Lawrence also has no guaranteed salary left on his deal.
