Lawrence agreed Thursday to restructure his contract with the Giants, creating $7.5 million in cap space for the team, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports. New York converted $10 million of Lawrence's base salary into a signing bonus, and pushed $7.5 million of that total into future years to create extra cap space. Last season Lawrence earned second-team All-Pro honors after notching 53 tackles and 4.5 sacks. He's entering the second season of a four-year, $87.5 million contract extension inked last May.

Sitting out again
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/new-york-giants-logo.png?w=150)
Lawrence has yet to practice this week and will likely need to get on the field Friday to increase his chances of suiting up against the Patriots on Sunday. The Clemson product has yet to miss a game this season and his potential absence would be a blow to the interior of the team's defensive line.
