Overview
- Dexter Lawrence, who was traded over the weekend for Cincinnati’s No. 10 pick, arrived Monday and signed a one-year, $28 million extension.
- In his first Bengals press event Monday, Lawrence said there was “no beef” with the Giants and called the trade part of the business.
- Reports from NFL Network and others say the Giants are now less inclined to trade edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, though they are taking calls at a high asking price.
- Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported New York grew frustrated when Lawrence’s representatives approached about a new deal late in free agency.
- The swap gives New York two top-10 selections for Thursday’s draft, which could change how it targets help on the defensive line.
