The #Giants did have conversations with Dexter Lawrence's side about a contract "near" $28m APY, however, for them to go there, they wanted more years, per sources.
That was denied, along with all others proposed structures. There was never a counter provided to #NYG.
Became very clear Lawrence just wanted out. Which is why, despite the No. 10 pick being on the table dating back "roughly two weeks," per sources, things didn't finalize until Saturday.
Giants were hoping to find a resolution. They couldn't. Both sides moved on.
If the Giants sign DJ Reader AND Shelby Harris w the money they save trading Dex, AND draft Woods/McDonald/Banks, name your DT at 37 to go with Darius Alexander itโs a better DT room as a whole than the last 2 years.
Add Sonny Styles at pick 5 and Delane/Vega with the Dex pick.
