Expected compensation is generally seen as late first- to early second-round picks, possibly wrapped into a larger package with players or salary relief. Any transfer would likely hinge on Lawrence agreeing to a new deal and the Giants evaluating how to balance short-term competitiveness with long-term cap flexibility.
