Per ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, Dexter Lawrence wants out of New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Lawrence has two seasons left on his contract with the Giants, with cap numbers of $26.9 and $28.9 million in each of the next two years. There\u2019s no more guaranteed salary remaining for Lawrence, which means teams will be on the hook for his $18.5 and $18 million base salaries. Lawrence is scheduled to make roughly $20 million in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The San Francisco 49ers\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-news\/157100\/san-francisco-49ers-news-trade-osa-odighizuwa-dallas-cowboys-nfl-free-agency-3rd-round-pick\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">splash trade<\/a> for Osa Odighizuwa may have taken them out of the running for trading for another high-priced veteran, but should it? Alfred Collins and CJ West shouldn\u2019t stop you from adding a Dexter Lawrence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">John Harbaugh called Lawrence a \u201ccornerstone football player.\u201d The two-time second-team All-Pro is coming off a season in which he recorded a half-sack and five tackles for loss, both career lows. Lawrence didn\u2019t miss a game, but his production fell off a cliff. The year prior, Lawrence had 10 tackles for loss and nine sacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If the 49ers were to swing a trade like this, they\u2019d likely need to part with one of their first two picks and at least one of the rookies from last season. A second-rounder this year, and Alfred Collins may be a blow to the depth, but you\u2019re lining up Mykel Williams-Osa-Lawrence-Nick Bosa. That\u2019ll play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The other angle, as is the case with most trades, is that if you don\u2019t get the star player, then one of your rivals might. The good news is the Giants are unlikely to deal Lawrence to the Eagles or Cowboys, but that may not hold true for the Seahawks or the Rams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A \u201cdown\u201d year from Lawrence probably means he\u2019ll bounce back in a big way in 2026, regardless of which team. If you\u2019re the 49ers, and you\u2019re not interested in trading for him, it\u2019s best a player of Lawrence\u2019s caliber ends up in the AFC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the best defensive players in the NFL over the past couple of seasons has requested a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":857266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,7,6,1161,252,9323,2624,2623],"class_list":{"0":"post-857265","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-san-francisco","12":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","13":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-rumors","14":"tag-sanfrancisco","15":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116359028221422951","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=857265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/857266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=857265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=857265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=857265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
