It is a shame the draft isn't in Chicago this year. Goodell
would get to hear how pissed Bears fans are at him and the
league!

He wouldn’t care. He’s making $64 million and has the approval
of the owners.

Allegedly Dexter Lawrence said he would take less money to come
to the Bears rather than staying with the Giants. That’s
intriguing.He’s 28 so has a few prime years left.
I don’t think they could pay him considering they’re at the cap
now still needing to come up with money to pay the rookie class.

Bears can afford him, they just have to restructure J. Johnson's
and M. Sweat deals and push cap hit. Next year they can get rid
of Odeyingbo and Grady and save a bunch.

Good idea?
The New York Giants have a significant decision to make on the
defensive side of the ball after star interior defender Dexter
Lawrence requested a trade, with Athlon’s latest 2026 NFLmock
draft predicting he could get his wish on April 23.
Lawrence signed a four-year, $87.5 million extension with the
Giants in 2023, making him one of the highest-paid interior
defenders at the time. However, the market has since surged, and
after settling for just a $3 million raise last season, he is
now seeking a new deal with significantly higher pay.
According to reports, Lawrence is asking for an annual salary
between $30 million and $35 million. After contract talks
stalled, he escalated the situation by requesting a trade.

Now, Athlon’s Luke Easterling predicts the Giants will grant
that request on Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. He projects that
New York will trade Lawrence to the Chicago Bears for the No. 25
overall pick.
"It looks like Lawrence wants change of scenery, and the Giants
could find a willing trade partner in the Bears, who need the
interior dominance he brings to the defensive trenches,"
Easterling wrote. "In return for sending Lawrence where he can
make an instant impact for a playoff contender, the Giants get
the chance to find their new top cornerback [Colton Hood]."
The Bears had one of the worst run defenses in the NFL last
season, and their Super Bowl outlook would improve immediately
with Lawrence, who is one of the best run defenders in the
league. He is also an elite interior pass rusher, and even
though he recorded just 0.5 sacks in 2025, he still produced 34
pressures and ranked 19th in pass rush win rate.
Lawrence is also just one season removed from a career-high nine
sacks, and while Chicago would likely need to offer him a
massive contract extension, they appear to be in a win-now mode
after winning the NFC North last season, and it is possible that
Lawrence simply needs a change of scenery to return to peak
form.
Meanwhile, New York would struggle to replace Lawrence’s impact.
Although adding a player like Colton Hood would strengthen their
secondary, replacing an All-Pro defensive tackle is far more
difficult, especially with a rookie. That gives Lawrence
considerable leverage, but if he does not lower his demands, a
trade may become the most realistic outcome.

There is some reason to expect that he did not like Harbaugh
(who is known as a tough pushing coach). Not sure he will work
out well considering how Ben Johnson is. Money may make a
difference, but that will only spackle over a bad attitude.....
