In between those two years, a $22.5MM extension was worked out. The 2023 offseason saw several big-ticket defensive tackle contracts handed out, and Lawrence fell in step with several other top producers on the time. Conversations on a brand new multiyear agreement didn&#8217;t produce an agreement last offseason, so a brief fix was worked out. Incentives were added to Lawrence\u2019s deal, but a lingering elbow injury resulted in a down yr with respect to his production (0.5 sacks, 12 QB pressures).<\/p>\n<p><em>More to return\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dexter Lawrence\u00a0stays under contract with the Giants, but that is probably not the case for for much longer.
