A team for #DaBears to watch on the trade market - the New York Giants. It appears that they are listening to offers for DE Kavon Thibodeaux and DT Dexter Lawrence.

Sorry popped up on my timeline, so I thought I would ask?

Not Thibedeaux, but I’d be real interested in Dexter Lawrence.

Yeah he's a good run defender, only 28 and while not as good as peak Tomlinson he is younger and cheaper.

 

[Dan H]

Feel like our resources are better served on the offensive line, considering what they’d likely cost.

 

[Chopper0080]

100% on Dexter Lawrence.

 

[BigDavis75]

Lawrence was banged up last year but he’s an absolute monster, would love to have him.

 

[BigDavis75]

Yeah he's a good run defender, only 28 and while not as good as peak Tomlinson he is younger and cheaper.

He’s a force rushing the passer too.

 

[Chopper0080]

Would be the best player on the defense immediately.

Interesting that Giants picked up Thibodeaux's 5th year option but are now looking at trade offers for him. Had a good first two years and then declined the last two (slightly better than Baron browning, who is cheaper). He'd be an intriguing option on a cheap contract, but I wouldn't call 1 year at ~$15M cheap.

He's significantly better than Tomlinson as a pass rusher.

It makes sense if you get him for a pick swap or a very low pick from a talent standpoint. I can't speak to his commitment to football.

I said "peak" Tomlinson, we got him on the downside. I mean as a run defender I agree Lawrence is a better pass rusher

 

[Goldfield]

I would almost always trade draft picks for proven talent. So yes I would

 

[Syracusecards]

Agree but the problem is good ones are very rarely made available

 

[slanidrac16]

I would, but the cardinals won’t.

 

[DVontel]

lol huh?

I know he had a down year last season, but Dexter at his best is a lot better than peak Tomlinson.

Was just talking run defender. He's a better pass rusher.

The concern I would have with Lawrence is the injury he had this year, dislocated left elbow, was the exact same injury he had last year, which is probably why the Giants would be considering moving on from him.

 

[KiwiCard]

I'd be all over Sexy Dexy, him and Nolen (when back) with Sweat is the makings of an elite D line.

 

[BritCard]

DL for sure

KT depends on price

Kayvon Thibodeaux, per sources, is a player the #Giants are listening to offers on and the belief from teams here at the combine is that he will eventually get dealt.

I do not get the same sentiment on Dexter Lawrence. This staff loves him & wants him.
