He is currently waiting to sign the franchise tag, so he isn’t forced to attend the offseason program. However, the Giants did make a huge move on Thursday extending Dexter Lawrence with an impressive contract.
<h2>Dexter Lawrence’s contract</h2>
New York had a decent performance on defense last season despite not having superstars on that side of the ball. Their top player was supposed to be Leonard Williams, but he was surpassed by a breakout year from the 2019 first-round pick.
Lawrence received a four-year deal worth 90 million dollars. The contract includes 60M guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He was not going to participate in the voluntary activities being in a contract year, although the former Clemson Tiger was able to capitalize his 7.5-sack season.
<h2>Who is the highest paid DT?</h2>
With this mega deal he now ranks very high among defensive tackles. Lawrence is behind only Aaron Donald of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Allen-Robinsons-trade-The-astonishing-figure-the-Rams-paid-for-just-one-season-20230418-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a> in terms of guarantees, per Spotrac. His second place is also shared with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Chiefs-DT-Chris-Jones-fires-back-at-Dolphins-WR-Tyreek-Hill-20230406-0039.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Jones</a> of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Chiefs-sign-Super-Bowl-champion-LT-to-protect-Patrick-Mahomes-20230503-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a>. The new contract also puts him third in annual average value, right after Donald and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Jeffery-Simmons-contract-How-much-will-Tennessee-Titans-DT-make-after-his-extension-20230407-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeffery Simmons</a> of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Draft-2023-Tennessee-Titans-trade-up-to-pick-Kentucky-QB-Will-Levis-20230428-0040.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tennessee Titans</a>.
