Three-time Pro Bowl nose tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade from the New York Giants and will not attend their offseason workout program, according to three people familiar with the situation.
The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because discussions were not being made public.
Lawrence has played his first seven NFL seasons with the Giants since they selected him with the 17th pick in the 2019 draft out of Clemson.
Now 28, he still has two years left on his contract, set to earn $20 million and $19.5 million in each of the next two seasons.
Coming off a dislocated left elbow from a game on Thanksgiving in 2024, Lawrence started all 17 games last season. He finished with a career-low 31 tackles and a half-sack for a defense that ranked 30th out of 32 teams in the league.
Lawrence has 341 tackles and 30 1/2 sacks in 109 regular-season games in the league. He made 12 more tackles in two playoff games.
The Giants began spring workouts Tuesday under new coach John Harbaugh, who along with general manager Joe Schoen hired Dennard Wilson as the team's defensive coordinator. They have the fifth pick in the upcoming draft after going 4-13.
