NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Giants and DT Dexter Lawrence “have reached an impasse” on a new contract extension.

15 April 2026

Lawrence has been looking for a contract extension this offseason, but he and the Giants have been unable to reach an agreement and the 28-year-old requested a trade. Giants general manager Joe Schoen addressed Lawrence’s trade request, saying he would like to keep the star defensive tackle. However, Rapoport reports contract talks “have reached an impasse” and that “the Giants have engaged with teams on a potential trade.” The NFL Draft at the end of April will be a key deadline for Schoen to explore trades for Lawrence.
