"Teams that need an upgrade will likely jump on this."One week earlier, a shushing face emoji in a tweet from Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle BJ Hill had fans on social media hoping for a reunion between Hill and Lawrence.Hill and Lawrence were teammates with the Giants in 2019 and 2020 before Hill was traded to the Bengals in August 2021 for offensive lineman Billy Price.Lawrence requested a trade earlier in the month, according to multiple reports.Rapoport reported April 7 via Twitter/X that Giants head coach John Harbaugh responded to Lawrence's trade request by saying, "I'm not surprised by it. We'll try to work through it."This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Dexter Lawrence, Giants reach impasse in extension talks | Report
