EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence reached agreement Thursday on a four-year, $90 million extension, including $60 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal makes Lawrence the third-highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL behind the Los Angeles Rams' Aaron Donald and Tennessee's Jeffery Simmons.
It comes after Lawrence, 25, elected to stay away from the start of the voluntary portion of the Giants' offseason program because of a contract disagreement, a source told ESPN in April. He remained in contact with the team and coach Brian Daboll as he dealt with his contract situation.
