The NFL is never dormant. Even in the offseason, teams are creating headlines with blockbuster moves for the upcoming campaign. The latest? A Dexter Lawrence trade between the Bengals and Giants.
The Bengals acquired the star defensive lineman for the No. 10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
It’s a simple swap with major implications for both sides. The Giants now have two top 10 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, while the Bengals get an elite defensive player to compete for the playoffs.
Lawrence is expected to get a contract extension with Cincinnati. New York will bolster its roster with two top-level rookies.
