Report: Agent 'forbade' Giants' John Harbaugh from speaking to Dexter Lawrence

A new report has shed light on the tense negotiations that preceded Dexter Lawrence's departure from the New York Giants in a seismic trade.

As the star nose tackle sought a new opportunity, his agent, Joel Segal, took a firm stance that reportedly limited direct communication with the team's new head coach, John Harbaugh.

Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports that Lawrence's camp preferred to negotiate through Giants senior vice president of football administration Dawn Aponte and senior player personnel director Chris Mara, while keeping general manager Joe Schoen involved but at a distance.
