The New York Giants are not done extending vital pieces of their team this offseason, and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence will now reportedly be one of the highest-paid for his position in the NFL. 

NFL Network reports that Lawrence and the Giants have agreed to a four-year extension worth $90 million with $60 million fully guaranteed. 

That brings Lawrence to $22.5 million per year, tied for third among defensive tackles with the Washington Commanders’ Daron Payne. 

Only Los Angeles Rams defensive star Aaron Donald ($31.67 million per year) and Tennessee Titans veteran Jeffery Simmons ($23.5 million) make more.

Lawrence’s contract would kick in next year during the 2024 campaign, keeping him under Giants control until he reaches free agency in 2028. 

Lawrence joins fellow 2019 NFL Draft first-round pick and captain, quarterback Daniel Jones, with a new contract this offseason. Jones officially became the franchise quarterback when he agreed to a four-year, $160 million deal, which pays out $40 million per season.

Lawrence has been everything the Giants have hoped for since he was drafted 17th overall in 2019. 

The Clemson product had a career year in Wink Martindale’s scheme under the Giants’ new regime led by head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen. Lawrence totaled 7.5 sacks and 68 combined tackles, both career highs, with three passes defended, two forced fumbles and seven tackles for loss. He also amassed 28 quarterback hits, showing he had the knack for getting to the quarterback.

Lawrence’s efforts earned him his first Pro Bowl bid, and he was named to the AP second-team All-Pro defense. 

The Giants hope the combination of Lawrence and Leonard Williams, who is playing in the final year of his deal this season, will keep providing sturdy defense in the trenches this year. New York will look to improve against the run. The Giants ranked 25th last season against the run, allowing 144.2 yards per game. 

Now that Lawrence got his deal after Jones, all eyes will be on Giants running back Saquon Barkley. The Giants slapped their franchise tag on Barkley, who is reportedly looking for a contract extension before the start of the season. 

In four seasons (64 games), Lawrence has registered 16½ sacks, 213 tackles, four forced fumbles, 21 tackles for loss and 58 quarterback hits. 

Rory McIlroy says he skipped out on the RBC Heritage last month to "reset" after his disappointing performance at Augusta National. 

That decision has now officially cost $3 million. 

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan confirmed Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that McIlroy will forfeit 25% of his Payer Impact Program earnings ($12 million), after missing his second designated tournament of the season.

"When we made the commitment to this schedule with the Player Impact Program, we adjusted for one opt out," Monahan explained. "For any second opt out, you would forfeit to 25% unless there was a medical issue. Based on that criteria, it's actually fairly cut-and-dry."

He continued: "So in terms of precedent, in any situation like that we’re going to look at the criteria against the situation at hand and make a decision, There’s nothing really unusual about that."

McIlroy previously skipped the Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua, another designated event, at the start of the year, but after failing to make the cut at the Masters, he withdrew from the RBC Heritage as well.

"I’ve always thought I’ve had a good handle on the perspective on things and sort of where golf fits within my life, and trying to find purpose outside of golf in some way," McIlroy said of his break.

"But I think over the last 12 months, I sort of lost sight of that. I’d lost sight of the fact that there’s more to life than the golf world and this little silly squabble that’s going on between tours, and all sorts of stuff."

"So I think I just gained a little bit of perspective and once I sort of disconnected from it a little bit, I could see things a little clearer and sort of where everything fits within my life," he added. "It was a good reset."

Monahan empathized with McIlroy and other players’ needs for a "reset," but stood by the rules. 

"He knew the consequences of that," he said Wednesday. "First of all, players should be able to make a decision not to play. That's the beauty of our model. But he knows the consequences of that based on that criteria. And that’s our position."
