00:00Yeah, I think it just reached a boiling point where the Giants didn't want to trade Dexter Lawrence.
00:05They tried to make him some offers.
00:07It was clear that Dexter Lawrence didn't want to hear their offers, and he was done with the Giants.
00:13As you can see, he only got a one-year, $28 million extension from the Bengals.
00:18Sometimes they say this, Brandon, in sports.
00:22They say even when it's not about the money, it's about the money.
00:25I really don't think this was about the money.
00:27I think Dexter Lawrence felt disrespected.
00:29I think he saw his friends leaving and winning other places and getting more respect.
00:33I think it was a lost cause.
00:35The Bengals had proposed this to the Giants something like a week and a half ago.
00:41The Giants held them off.
00:43They knew they had this offer in their back pocket, but they were really trying to get a deal done.
00:47So they knew they were going to get a first-round pick if it boiled over.
00:50I don't think waiting would have solved anything, and I think to the Giants' front office's credit,
00:55they realized, hey, let's get this done now.
00:58Let's help the 2026 team.
01:00Let's not drag this out until August and then realize he's not going to play for us.
01:04Let's go.
01:04Let's go.
