What started as a trade request rooted in an attempt to get a new contract with the New York Giants has apparently turned into a full-on declaration of Dexter Lawrence’s intent to split town.
The New York Post reports that Lawrence no longer wants to cut a deal with the Giants and wants to be traded. “If Dexter Lawrence has his wish,” writes Paul Schwartz in his latest on the New York football drama. “he will not suit up for the Giants again.” That is certainly an eye-opening way to start a news story about a player who is making headlines because of a trade request.
This news comes just days after talks between the team and its three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle were at an “impasse.” When we discussed that update on Wednesday, I thought that it might have been a last-gasp effort to push a deal across the finish line. However, it turns out that negotiations took a turn to a place where talks broke off, and that a pay increase isn’t going to be enough to keep the star defensive lineman in the fold.

Early signs indicated that teams interested in trading for Dexter Lawrence would have to pay the price of a first-round pick (and possibly more) to do business. That might be a price point that is too rich for some front offices. However, more recent reporting from ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggested that the Giants might not get a first-round pick from a team wanting to trade for the stud defensive tackle. Instead, Schefty believes that a second-round pick and a fifth-rounder might be all it takes to get a deal done.
When it comes to the Chicago Bears, I’m interested in the team swinging a trade for Dexter Lawrence. He is a player who suits up at a defensive position the team needs to fill and has a history of playing at a high level. While his statistical production was down in 2025, Lawrence’s grades (75.6 PFF grade ranked 9th among 134 qualifying interior defensive linemen) and advanced metrics (71 percent pass rush win rate via ESPN ranked in the top-20 among defensive tackles) still had him in the upper echelon among players at his position group.
I can talk myself into the Bears using a first-round pick on a defensive tackle entering his age-29 season. But I would strongly prefer to see Chicago’s football team cut a deal without shipping off its first-round selection. And with a pair of second-round picks at their disposal, the Bears could conceivably make something happen with the Giants. Dexter Lawrence is just one year removed from a season in which he racked up 9 sacks, 16 quarterback hits, and 8 tackles-for-loss in 12 games. If I could guarantee that player showing up in Chicago, I wouldn’t hesitate to make a deal.
With that being said, it wouldn’t break my heart if the Bears were unable to make a trade for Dexter Lawrence. There are a bunch of intriguing defensive line fits that GM Ryan Poles can pluck at some point during the first two days of the upcoming NFL Draft who could be plug-and-play contributors whose presence could help aid in the improvement of a defensive line that struggled to get to the quarterback and slow down opposing ground games.
