The New York Giants executed a blockbuster trade on Saturday, sending three-time Pro Bowl nose tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
The deal provides the Giants with significant additional draft capital as they accelerate their roster rebuild.
