Bengals Acquire All-Pro DT Dexter Lawrence in Blockbuster Trade

All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (28) has been traded from the New York Giants to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for the No. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Lawrence, who requested the move due to a contract dispute, is expected to sign a long-term extension with Cincinnati pending a physical. The blockbuster deal gives the Giants two top-10 picks (Nos. 5, 10, and 37 overall) and bolsters the Bengals' defensive front with an elite interior defender, fulfilling Lawrence's wish.
