Schefter wrote in a post to X on Monday.<\/a> “Lawrence and the Giants have been through two off seasons attempting to negotiate a contract reflecting his value to the Giants over the last three years, but there has not been any progress, per sources.”<\/p>\nLawrence would be the perfect addition to the Jets’ defensive line. He’s versatile enough to play multiple positions along their front, depending on whether Sweat is on the field.<\/p>\n
With Sweat at nose tackle in a 3-4 front, Lawrence could slot in at defensive end. In a 4-3 front, Lawrence could play defensive tackle next to Sweat. In a passing down, Lawrence could be the nose tackle in a 3-4 front. He’s one of the best nose tackles in the league at generating pressure in the middle of the defensive line.<\/p>\n
But what would it cost?<\/p>\n
What would it cost to land Dexter Lawrence?![\"New](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01knmeb708ncme6zgs7h.jpg\" "\\"New")

Lawrence is likely going to be worth a 2027 first-round pick or a pair of picks in this draft, which would include a second-round pick. This mock trade sees the Jets pair the No. 44 pick with a fifth-round pick to acquire Lawrence.<\/p>\n
The Jets could look to send the No. 2 pick alongside some other draft capital for Lawrence and the No. 5 pick. Trading down from pick No. 2 to pick No. 5 could work. The Jets could also send the Giants the No. 16 pick and a first-rounder next season, alongside some other draft capital, for Lawrence and the No. 5 pick.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of opportunities for the Jets to make a move like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets have been very active and very aggressive toward rebuilding their roster this offseason.
