The New York Giants have traded star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals, per @AdamSchefter. In a stunning turn of events, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is also reportedly back in the Giants’ building today.
The move represents a full-circle moment for the franchise. Dexter Lawrence was originally drafted by the Giants using the primary draft selection acquired from the Cleveland Browns in the blockbuster 2019 trade involving Odell Beckham Jr. Now, Lawrence departs for Cincinnati while Beckham Jr. has returned to the organization where he began his career.
Lawrence has been a cornerstone of the Giants' defense, earning multiple Pro Bowl honors during his tenure. His move to the Bengals provides Cincinnati with a massive interior presence for their defensive front. The team has not yet released official terms of the trade or the specific reason for Beckham's presence at the facility.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
