With offseason programs beginning this week for teams led by new coaches, Lawrence seems to digging in, refusing to report to the start of voluntary workouts while asking for a fresh start elsewhere.
A first-round pick out of Clemson in 2019, Lawrence has earned three Pro Bowl nods from 2022-2024 and two second-team All-Pro selections, proving himself as an interior force for a Giants club that has enduring plenty of struggles during his career. New York identified Lawrence as a key pillar of the Giants’ roster construction when they signed him to a four-year, $90 million extension in 2023, but it seems as if they cannot land in the same ballpark when it comes to Lawrence’s next pay day.
Squarely in his prime at 28 years old and with two years remaining on his existing contract, Lawrence should command a significant return. We’ll see if his trade request prompts Schoen to answer calls on Lawrence’s availability, or if it motivates the GM to move closer toward another extension with the hefty interior defender.
