July 24 (UPI) -- The New York Giants agreed to add $3 million in incentives to Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence's salary for 2025, sources told UPI on Thursday.
Lawrence is to make $17 million, plus the potential incentives, this season. The Pro Bowl defender signed a four-year, $87.5 million contract with the Giants in 2023, but restructured that deal last off-season.
Lawrence, 27, made the Pro Bowl each of the last three seasons. He totaled 44 combined tackles, 16 quarterback hits, a career-high nine sacks, eight tackles for a loss, a pass defensed and a forced fumble over 12 starts last season.
The 6-foot-4, 340-pound defensive lineman sustained a season-ending elbow injury in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 28 in Arlington, Texas. He missed the final five games of the season.
