The Jacksonville Jaguars already have an impact player with the surname Lawrence, who makes a big impact on offense. After the Dexter Lawrence trade rumors surfaced, some are wondering if the Jaguars are lacking on defense as well?
Ultimately, Lawrence wants a trade, but it's possible the New York Giants find a way to commit their three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle to a new contract. But for now, teams are trying to come up with trade offers that could add Lawrence to their roster.
Does it include Jaguar? According to Jacksonville general manager James Gladstone, trading for Lawrence "isn't something we got into." Yet, since he is still under contract with the Giants, as Gladstone said, he is "not even free to talk about it." In public.
In other words, even if the Jaguars are privately trying to make a trade for Lawrence, it's not something they can really discuss freely with the media. Plus, with the 2026 NFL Draft (April 23-25) right around the corner, the Jaguars are more focused on making sure their draft board is ready to make a splash.
Who knows? If the Jaguars can't find a defensive tackle early in the draft, perhaps they reconsider the potential cost of trading for a proven star like Lawrence. But right now, that doesn't seem possible for Duval.
