The Cincinnati Bengals are bolstering their defensive line before next week’s NFL Draft.
Lawrence had requested a trade out of New York earlier this off-season.
The Giants will now hold picks No. 5 and 10 in Thursday’s draft.
Lawrence played his first seven NFL seasons with the Giants after they selected him with the 17th pick in the 2019 draft out of Clemson.
Now 28, he still has two years left on his contract, set to earn $20 million and $19.5 million in each of the next two seasons.
Coming off a dislocated left elbow from a game on Thanksgiving in 2024, Lawrence started all 17 games last season. He finished with a career-low 31 tackles and a half-sack for a defence that ranked 30th out of 32 teams in the league.
Lawrence has 341 tackles and 30 1/2 sacks in 109 regular-season games in the league. He made 12 more tackles in two playoff games.
