Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was traded from the Giants to the Bengals for Cincinnati's 2026 No. 10 overall pick and immediately signed a one-year, $28 million contract extension after passing his physical. This moves Lawrence to a contender mid-season and gives the Bengals a proven defensive anchor to pair with their playoff push. The Giants received a top-10 pick in return, positioning themselves for a major draft move in 2026.
