The San Francisco 49ers bounced back on the field in the last season with 12 wins and 5 losses after a rocky season in 2024, when the team recorded just 6 wins and 11 losses.As the team witnessed a brutal loss in the Divisional Round against the Seattle Seahawks, it seems the San Francisco 49ers are working on fixing their roster, ahead of the new season.
San Francisco 49ers could target the New York Giants ’ star player, Dexter Lawrence , after his disappointing performance
A few hours ago, the New York Giants’ star player, Dexter Lawrence, was unexpectedly linked to the San Francisco 49ers.Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton noted in a recent report, “In March, the 49ers made a move to beef up the interior of their defensive front, trading a 2026 third-rounder to the Dallas Cowboys for Osa Odighizuwa. Perhaps San Francisco isn’t done trying to revamp the unit under new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris…”Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton added, “With a healthy Nick Bosa and 2025 first-rounder Mykel Williams on the edge, Lawrence and Odighizuwa would round out what could be an above-average defensive line.”However, the San Francisco 49ers have maintained their distance from the speculations as Dexter Lawrence has also remained silent.The New York Giants’ star player, Dexter Lawrence, recorded a pretty strong performance in the 2024 season with 9.0 tackles in just 12 games.While he ended up missing 5 games because of his dislocated elbow, Dexter Lawrence ended up being named a Pro Bowler for the third time in a row.But in the last season, Dexter Lawrence’s performance witnessed a sharp decline as he suffered from the pain of his dislocated elbow.The New York Giants’ defensive tackle recorded just 0.5 sacks in all 17 games, sparking concern about his health.However, ahead of the new season, as per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dexter Lawrence has sought a trade request after a few failed attempts at negotiating a new contract with the New York Giants.The New York Giants had restructured his contract in July 2025 and added a whopping $3 million as incentives but no guaranteed money was left.As rumors swirl about Dexter Lawrence’s future in the league, the New York Giants’ coach John Harbaugh opened up about the situation and said, “Speaking for the Giants, we want Dexter here. And I believe Dexter wants to be here.”The popular coach added, “We’ll find out. I think the prospects are going to be high…”For now, all eyes are on what Dexter Lawrence does next as many await his return to the field after a disappointing season.
