The New York Giants have given one of their players a huge contract extension - and it's not their offensive captain and leader Saquon Barkley.
It was recently announced that the Giants signed their defensive tackle Deter Lawrence to a big new deal - signing the disruptive interior lineman to a $90million, four-year deal. The defensive tackle has been a solid player since entering the league in 2020 from Clemson, but he took a huge step up this past season becoming a dominant player this past season.
It all points to a tricky situation when star man Barkley - franchise tagged this season - is out of contract at the end of the campaign and will either move on or command a big new deal. And Giants general manager Joe Schoen has provided an update on his situation, insisting the Giants want him to remain with the franchise for the long-term but must find a deal which works for them.
