New York Giants star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is requesting a trade, multiple outlets reported Monday.

The three-time Pro Bowl selection is not expected to report Tuesday when the offseason program gets underway.

Lawrence, 28, is set to earn a base salary of $18.5 million in 2026 and is under contract through 2027.

According to ESPN, there has been no progress in Lawrence's attempts to negotiate a new long-term deal.

The 2019 first-round pick has recorded 341 tackles, 30.5 sacks and 103 quarterback hits in 109 games (102 starts).

Although this stage of offseason work is voluntary, Lawrence's expected absence is a sour start to new coach John Harbaugh's tenure.
