Signed a one-year, $28 million contract with the Bengals in April of 2026.
Gets $28 million extension
Lawrence and the Bengals agreed to terms on a one-year, $28 million contract extension Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Saturday's trade with the Giants -- which saw the No. 10 pick of the 2026 NFL Draft move to New York -- was finalized Sunday after Lawrence passed his physical, and the extension ensures that the 2019 first-rounder will be under contract with the Bengals through the next three seasons. The Clemson product is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2025 regular season, when he tallied 31 tackles (14 solo), including 0.5 sacks, all of which were career lows. Lawrence was named to the NFL's All-Pro Second Team in both 2022 and 2023, and if he can return to that level, it would be a massive boost to a Bengals defensive front that also includes Jonathan Allen, Myles Murphy and Boye Mafe.

2019
Lawrence was limited to 12 games in 2024 due to a dislocated elbow, but that didn't stop him from maintaining his status as one of the top interior defensive linemen in the league. Despite the limited snaps, he finished tied for 11th in total run stuffs with 25 (per PFF) while logging a career-high nine sacks. The latter could be in jeopardy to dip in 2025 by looking at just his pressure rate and total quarterback hits, but the Giants have built an impressive front on their defense, particularly with the addition of Abdul Carter and Brian Burns in the last two years. Offenses won't be able to focus exclusively on Lawrence as a result, meaning there's a convergence of talent and circumstance that should allow him to deliver another excellent fantasy campaign.
