However, he remains a penetrating force who can completely change the complexion of any defense. Lawrence&#8217;s ability to get upfield and discombobulate the pocket is a talent matched by few. Even in a down year, he remained a top-10 interior pass rusher. The tape remains top-tier.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence has two years remaining on his contract with base salaries of $18.5 million in 2026 and $18 million in 2027, with no guaranteed money left. The $22.5 million per year average on his last contract places him 11th among interior defenders. Even entering his age-29 season, he&#8217;s worth a pay raise. The desire for a new contract, however, would curtail any compensation the Giants could get back in a trade.<\/p>\n<p>Every team in the NFL could use a player of Lawrence&#8217;s caliber. Every team. But let&#8217;s run through a list of some ideal landing spots for the Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sexy Dexy no longer wants to dance in New York.
