The have had a defensive focus this offseason as the franchise traded for and then walked back on the Maxx Crosby deal. Then, a day later, signed pa s rusher Trey Hendrickson to bolster the defense for first-time head coach Je se Minter. But now the Ravens have the chance to add a three-time Pro Bowler to their Wayne Simmonds Jersey defense, as defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade. And NFL.com's Kevin Patra likes Dexter in Baltimore. "The Baltimore bra s insisted they had eyes on pairing Trey Hendrickson with Maxx Crosby before nixing the trade with Las Vegas," . "Trading for Lawrence would give them another pa s-rush force to play with under new HC Je se Minter. The uncertain future of Nnamdi Madubuike could also incentivize the Ravens to make a big move to solidify the middle." More: Could Ravens actually get Lawrence? Well, I think that the Lawrence trade request is a simple negotiating tactic to get the Giants to push along his contract extension. So, I don't think the Giants will actually deal away their best defensive player. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like Lawrence will be anywhere other than New York in 2026. But if the Giants do move on from Dexter, the Ravens do make sense as a landing spot. Baltimore wanted Crosby and Hendrickson, so getting Lawrence and Trey isn't a bad consolation prize. It still feels like a pipedream, but in the NFL, you never know how things will pan out. More NFL news: Jacob Quillan Jersey
