Dexter Lawrence Trade Drama: Which Surprising Teams Are Emerging Amid Contract Stalemate?
Tennessee Titans
Dexter Lawrence alongside Jeffery Simmons on the interior of a 4-3 Robert Saleh front? That’s the stuff of dreams. The Titans have the most cap space and effective cap space in the NFL, so they could make an extension work. They did sign DT Jordan Elliott in free agency, but that should hardly preclude them from taking a good, long look here. The Giants would be trading Lawrence out of conference too, which sometimes sweetens a potential deal.
Kansas City Chiefs
This is a bit more pie-in-the-sky, but the Chiefs did just acquire an extra first-round pick last month in the Trent McDuffie trade, and they need a succession plan on the interior after Chris Jones retires. Kansas City did spend in free agency on DT Khyiris Tonga, and it’s an organization that trends toward frugality and drafting and developing rather than big spending, but if Patrick Mahomes comes back to his previous level, the Super Bowl window will be wide open for years to come. A big extension for Lawrence fits that timeline neatly.
