New York Giants star Dexter Lawrence requested a trade earlier in April, a move that shocked many around the NFL. Lawrence reportedly wants to get paid as one of the top defensive players in the NFL, and it's tough to blame him considering what he's done throughout his career.
However, the Giants don't seem to be in a position to do that right now, or don't want to. There has been a lot of chatter about what that could mean for Lawrence and his future in. If the Giants eventually decide to move him, the Chicago Bears are an obvious team that could use him.
Examining that, some believe the latest news on Lawrence could be good news for Chicago.
“The Giants have not expressed any interest in trading Lawrence, who is seeking a new contract that would come with a significant pay raise. The latest update from them on their 2026 roster, however, suggests they are at least considering their contingencies.
“According to the NFL’s official transaction wire, the Giants hosted an official free-agent visit with former Detroit Lions veteran defensive tackle DJ Reader on Monday, April 13, an indication they could be evaluating their nose tackle options to replace Lawrence,” Jordan Wilson of Heavy wrote.
With the NFL draft approaching, it'll be important to see what other teams around the league do. The Bears can certainly be impacted by that in more ways than not. It's been reported multiple times now that the Bears are looking to add on the defensive side of the football.
