Whoop

Kevin in Annapolis : 5/4/2023 4:36 pm : link

Whoop

4 years/$60M with $90M guaranteed

Strahan91 : 5/4/2023 4:36 pm : link

not bad at all

$ comes in just under simmons

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Giants’ All-Pro DT Dexter Lawrence reached agreement today on a four-year, $90 million extension, including $60 million guaranteed, per sources. The deal makes Lawrence the third highest-paid DT in the NFL.

Woo hoo!!

No1MDGiantsFan : 5/4/2023 4:38 pm : link

Great deal

Great work by Schoen again.

Dave in Hoboken : 5/4/2023 4:38 pm : link

Great day.

quick reaction from otc

This sounds like a pretty good deal for the #Giants

Essentially the same deal Payne signed. Dex is the better player so that's a win in my book

YES!!

jvm52106 : 5/4/2023 4:40 pm : link

That is awesome. One down and now maybe a friendly deal with Barkley as well.

Guy knew something was up. Gotta give the guy credit.

Attaboy!

section125 : 5/4/2023 4:40 pm : link

Well deserved. Probably opens up some cap space.

Excellent!

Sean : 5/4/2023 4:42 pm : link

Making cap room. Andrew Thomas should be next!

Looks like the exact same deal as Daron Payne

BlackLight : 5/4/2023 4:42 pm : link

And slightly less than Jeffrey Simmons, which kinda surprises me. I expected him to have the 2nd highest deal in the league after Donald.

Did Mike Lombardi rip this deal yet?

Exactly. Jason knows his $hit. Next up: Saquon

Impressive....considering usually the next guy goes higher

George from PA : 5/4/2023 4:44 pm : link

Not lower....

Some thought 25per....22.5 pet is great

B-B-B-BUT Mike Lombardi said

Dave in Hoboken : 5/4/2023 4:44 pm : link

Dexter and Thomas are pissed at the contract Jones got! "The disease of me." So much for that nonsense and any of the posters here that actually believed that. LOL.

NICE

JonC : 5/4/2023 4:44 pm : link

and it should generate the cap savings Schoen alluded to.

Cap hit for 23

Payasdaddy : 5/4/2023 4:46 pm : link

We need some space
Probably a few million less than the 12 he was getting Maybe8.5?

This confused me. Never seen guaranteed be higher then total contract before.

This deal

Dave on the UWS : 5/4/2023 4:48 pm : link

and the one Barkley will likely get will give them the operating room they need for draft picks and during the season. No re- structures look to be necessary. This is excellent cap management. Again these guys know what the hell they are doing.

That's new. Lol.

I don't know if this counts for anything

BlackLight : 5/4/2023 4:48 pm : link

but Daron Payne's 2023 cap hit is $8.6 million. Lawrence's cap hit before today was going to be $12.4 million. So maybe that gives us a rough idea of the savings. It would at least create enough room to sign the draft class.

With several recent comps at hand, this was probably a pretty easy

cosmicj : 5/4/2023 4:50 pm : link

Contract to negotiate for both sides.

Very happy Big Dex is on board for the ride.

Awesome news

KDavies : 5/4/2023 4:51 pm : link

Thomas next year

Great deal for both sides.

shockeyisthebest8056 : 5/4/2023 4:51 pm : link

Congrats to Sexy Dexy. He earned that money. He’s a terrific leader and appears to be a great guy.

Lawrence and Simmons play different spots; Simmons is a 3-tech defensive tackle like Aaron Donald, Lawrence is a NT.

Nice

With his ankle/foot history, he may want to get a deal done before next year.

Hell yea

I was thinking the same thing. He might want to get it done sooner rather than later.

Of course I suppose it's possible that the Giants may want to take it a little slower for the same reasons.

That's why I'd wait, if I were Schoen.

Funny to think about, in football running backs

mfsd : 5/4/2023 5:02 pm : link

have always gotten much of the glory (along with QBs and WRs, obviously), but in todays NFL a stud DT and LT (Dex and AT) will end up making a lot more than Saquon on their second deals

Dex should show appreciation to Wink

HopePhil and Optimistic : 5/4/2023 5:10 pm : link

When Wink was hired didn't he say something to the effect of "if I can't turn Dexter into a Probowler I should be fired."?

I think he said that about Leo also but I don't trust my memory.

We may have cash for the LB Y28 has been pushing for.

HopePhil and Optimistic : 5/4/2023 5:13 pm : link

Or for an Isaiah Simmons trade. Let the speculation begin.

If only

NYG was good at free agency during the Gettleman era

Question:

Jolly Blue Giant : 5/4/2023 5:17 pm : link

Is the 4 year extension added on to next year (ie; under contract for 5 more seasons) or is it 4 years total?

Good question. Normally it is in addition to the existing contract.

yes -- it's added on -- 5 years altogether -- it's an extension

Wow, great deal for the Giants

Ben in Tampa : 5/4/2023 5:20 pm : link

and Dex, who is now generationally rich, of course.

I thought he'd push up towards Donald, but its a win-win.

And only 25

that was more symptom of being so bad at hiring coaches.

So if it’s a true extension

Jolly Blue Giant : 5/4/2023 5:22 pm : link

How would it save cap space this year unless we changed his current contract?

James

Toth029 : 5/4/2023 5:23 pm : link

Bettcher and Patrick Graham also misused him, and uniquely, Andre Patterson was a helluva hire by Daboll.

So happy right now. This is a great day.

Dave in Hoboken : 5/4/2023 5:24 pm : link

Joe Schoen is something else for the contract to not be bigger than that.

NICE!

I can only assume there's a restructure of this year's numbers that lowers his 2023 cap hit.
