The New York Giants<\/a> might have a superstar defender on the trade block and the Green Bay Packers<\/a>, Buffalo Bills<\/a> and Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> are rumored to have interest.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter<\/a>, Giants superstar defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade over his dissatisfaction with his contract.<\/p>\n

“Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade and he will not be participating in the team\u2019s off-season workout program that opens Tuesday,” Schefter reported.<\/p>\n

“Lawrence and the Giants have been through two off seasons attempting to negotiate a contract reflecting his value to the Giants over the last three years, but there has not been any progress, per sources,” Schefter added.<\/p>\n

Rumor links Packers, Bills and Jaguars\"\"<\/p>\n

Three teams that are already rumored to have interest in Lawrence are the Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars, per Easton Butler of Packer Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Butler adds that in order to start trade talks with New York, it would take a Quinnen Williams-type package<\/a>, which was a second-round pick, a first-round pick and a player (defensive lineman Mazi Smith).<\/p>\n

Why Packers, Bills, Jaguars have interest\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s understandable why any team would have interest in Lawrence, who is an elite interior defender, but it’s especially understandable why the Packers, Bills, and Jaguars are stepping forward.<\/p>\n

The Packers have a need on the inside of their defensive line in the new 3-4 defense defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon will be running. Their current options are Nazir Stackhouse and Jonathan Ford, neither of whom are starting-caliber players.<\/p>\n

The Bills are currently slated to rely on Deone Walker as their nose tackle. That’s problematic because the jury is still out on the former fourth-round pick, who particularly struggled against the run last season.<\/p>\n

The Jaguars actually had the best run defense in the NFL last season, but they could use more pass-rush juice up the middle, and an upgrade over DaVon Hamilton entirely.<\/p>\n
