NEW YORK — Giants standout defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence won’t be reporting for the start of the Giants offseason program on Monday due to his contract situation, sources tell the New York Daily News.
That means two of the team’s top players won’t be reporting for the start of Brian Daboll’s second offseason program: Lawrence and running back Saquon Barkley, who hasn’t signed his franchise tag tender.
Lawrence, a former first-round pick, made second-team All-Pro in his fourth NFL season last fall. He is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract.
His absence leaves Daboll without two of his key players to start Year 2.
