New York Giants hold all the cards in Dexter Lawrence contract dispute

The New York Giants and Pro Bowl nose tackle Dexter Lawrence are currently experiencing an "impasse" in their contract negotiations. Until it's resolved, Lawrence will not report to the team's facility for the offseason workout program.

The program is voluntary at this time, so Lawrence is under no obligation to make an appearance, but with a new coaching staff in tow, it only makes sense to get into the building.

Lawrence is seeking a pay raise. Although he is one of the best at his position, he is only the seventh-highest paid.
