By: Staff Report May 4, 2023

A former Clemson star is getting the new contract he has earned as one of the NFL’s top defensive tackles.

Dexter Lawrence and the New York Giants have agreed to a four-year, $90 million extension that includes $60 million in guaranteed money, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

As Schefter noted, Lawrence’s new deal makes him the third highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.

The 25-year-old Lawrence is coming off the best season of his young NFL career in 2022 when he established career highs in a number of statistics, including sacks (7.5), quarterback hits (28), total tackles (68), tackles for loss (seven), pass breakups (three) and forced fumbles (two).

Lawrence’s outstanding season earned him Pro Bowl honors, as well as second-team All-Pro honors by the Associated Press. Additionally, he was named to the first Players’ All-Pro Team and the Professional Football Writers of America’s 2022 All-NFC team.

Lawrence has racked up 213 career tackles, 16.5 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, 58 quarterback hits, eight pass breakups and four forced fumbles across his first four NFL campaigns from 2019-22 after being selected by the Giants in the first round (17th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.
