The New York Giants have traded Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. This move fulfills Lawrence's request for a trade.
Well, the New York Giants granted Dexter Lawrence his wish. Lawrence demanded that he’d be traded, and he was.
Late Saturday night, the Giants announced that they will be trading Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick in next week’s draft.
Mike Garafolo tweeted about the trade:
“Cincy Dexy: The #Giants are trading DT Dexter Lawrence to the #Bengals in exchange for the 10th overall pick in next week’s NFL Draft, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Lawrence gets a new deal from his new team, while picks 5 and 10 now run through East Rutherford.”
Garafolo added:
“When word spread around the league the #Giants were likely getting a first-round pick in exchange for Dexter Lawrence, many believed it would be a late 1 but Joe Schoen, John Harbaugh & Co. land a top 10 pick in exchange for the 17th pick in 2019.”
This trade accomplishes two things: First, the Giants now get two first-round draft picks, No. 5 and No. 10.
The Bengals have now found a replacement for Trey Hendrickson, who signed with the Baltimore Ravens about a month ago. So this is a win-win move for both teams.
