Dexter Lawrence received $50.5million boost as a result of star QB transfer Leaving Giants immediately…..

In an era when big ticket NFL free agents often find new teams in the blink of an eye, many times in the brief “negotiating window” before teams are allowed to sign such players, the New York Giants and wide receiver Kenny Golladay went through a long, arduous three-day process before deciding to team up.

That began Thursday with dinner and ended Saturday afternoon with Golladay’s signature on a reported four-year, $72 million deal with $40 million guaranteed and a maximum value of $76 million.

The roughly 48-hour dance was part “make sure we’re right for each other because this is a massive commitment” and part “let’s make a deal.”

Dave Gettleman, Joe Judge, ownership and the Giants’ medical staff obviously all liked what they heard and saw from Golladay. The wide receiver also obviously like East Rutherford was the right place for him.
