Last week, the New York Giants took care of a key item of business, locking up Dexter Lawrence to a four-year, $90 million contract extension. The number was surprisingly low for Lawrence, who figured to exceed Jeffery Simmons’ $23.5 million average annual value. Instead, Lawrence’s AAV is the same as fellow NFC East defensive tackle Daron Payne at $22.5 million.
The full terms of the contract were recently released by Over the Cap.
