The Bengals have extended defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence one year at $28 million. The extension is for the 2028 season. The deal comes with an immediate $10 signing bonus, and adds guarantees over the next two seasons totaling $37 million. Lawrence passed his physical and will soon sign the contract extension.
Lawrence's primary beef with the Giants was over non-guaranteed money over this season and next.
My take: Well, they can get out of that final year without much dead cap. If this is all he wanted, what was the Giants' problem? Then again, once the Bengals called offering the 10th overall pick, why not?
