Dexter Lawrence traded to Bengals

Lawrence immediately signed a one-year, $28 million contract extension with Cincinnati after passing his physical.

The move significantly reshapes the top 10 of the upcoming draft and provides the Bengals with a dominant interior presence for Joe Burrow's championship window.

Giants fans and analysts are questioning how the team will replace their strongest defensive anchor just days before the draft begins.

This trade is seen as a clear signal of the Bengals' aggressive approach to the 2026 season.
