The Giants are trading DT Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals for the 10th overall pick in this year's draft. That means the Giants will be picking fifth and 10th. Lawrence recently requested a trade and indicated his desire to leave was not just about money. Multiple reports say, however, that the 28-year-old will be getting a contract extension from Cincinnati.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo: "Giants GM Joe Schoen flew to Arizona to attend Jordyn Tyson's workout yesterday. Schoen also had dinner with Tyson the night before, sources told me and @Rapsheet."
The fantasy impact here is minimal ... for now.
The Giants defense gets worse for losing Lawrence, but it was a bad defense anyway.
Cincinnati's defense improves by adding Lawrence, but we'll see whether it becomes a unit we can use in fantasy. The Bengals still need to show they can generate sacks after losing Edge Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens.
Lawrence should rebound from a down 2025 in fantasy scoring but hasn't generally been a high-level IDP option.
The greatest fantasy impact just might come in whomever the Giants select with their two early first-rounders. Tyson sure seems like a strong candidate to fill one of those spots.
