Mets' skid hits 11 as Cubs rally in 9th, win in 10th
Mets' losing streak hits 11 as Cubs rally for a 2-1 win in 10 innings.
Dexter Lawrence has been traded from the Giants to the Bengals, reportedly involving the No. 10 overall pick. The trade follows stalled contract negotiations, and Lawrence will sign a one-year, $28 million contract extension with Cincinnati.
A change is coming up front for two NFL teams. Star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is reportedly heading to Cincinnati in a deal involving the Giants, per ESPNâs Adam Schefter. The move comes after ongoing contract talks in New York stalled out, eventually leading to Lawrence seeking a fresh start elsewhere. Lawrence entered the league as a first-round pick in 2019 and quickly became a central piece of the Giantsâ defensive line. Before that, he made a major impact at Clemson, where he was one of the programâs most productive linemen. Over three seasons, he piled up 162 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks, earning All-ACC honors three times along with All-American recognition. His production carried over to the NFL. Lawrence developed into a dependable presence in the middle, recording more than 340 tackles and over 30 sacks during his time in New York. Now, the Bengals bring in a proven veteran to strengthen their defensive front, while the Giants move forward with a new direction along the interior.

And Dexter Lawrence ainât on it. Not even close.
â Peter Bukowski (@Peter\_Bukowski) April 19, 2026 The last time a veteran non-quarterback was traded for a Top 10 pick was 21 years agoâwhen the @Vikings traded Hall of Fame WR Randy Moss to the @Raiders for the seventh overall pick and a seventh rounder.
Safe to say the @Giants did well with the return for Dexter Lawrence.

â NFL Memes (@NFLMemes) April 19, 2026 The steep prices paid by the Bengals for Dexter Lawrence underscores two important points about this draft class:
This is not a strong draft at the top. The lack of blue chippers is well-established.
This draft is extremely thin at defensive tackle.
