The New York Giants traded defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals, where he will receive a one-year, $28 million contract extension. In return, the Giants acquired the No. 10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, complementing their existing No. 5 pick. Lawrence, a three-time Pro Bowler, requested the trade after failing to negotiate a new contract, and he had a lackluster season with only half a sack in 2025. Bengals’ director of player personnel, Duke Tobin, expressed confidence in Lawrence’s ability to enhance their defense.
