Dexter Lawrence’s dig at Giants tenure proves both parties are better off apart

Dexter Lawrence appeared to take a shot at his former team after the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Tennessee Titans 43-36 in overtime. Asked about playing meaningful games in Cincinnati, Lawrence noted he had not done so in years, referencing his tenure with the New York Giants. The writer, Scott Rogust of GMEN HQ, argues that the remark shows both Lawrence and the Giants are better off following their offseason trade.

The Giants traded Lawrence to Cincinnati for the 10th overall pick, which they used to draft offensive guard Francis Mauigoa. Under head coach John Harbaugh, New York sits in first place in the NFC East at 4-2-1 despite major injuries. Rogust points out that replacement defensive tackle D.J. Reader has performed well while Lawrence thrives with the 5-2 Bengals.
