McClellan, a Day 2 prospect who can rush the passer, spent a Top 30 visit with the Giants on April 15 and has also drawn attention from several other teams, including the Broncos, Raiders, Panthers, Cardinals, and 49ers.
Lawrence’s trade demand has the Giants weighing replacements, with Seattle’s potential interest drawing particular attention. A deal could be appealing to Seattle given a manageable cap hit around $13 million for acquiring teams in 2026.
Seattle has a history of acquiring defensive-line help from New York, most notably in the 2023 trade that sent Leonard Williams to the Seahawks, a move that reinforced Seattle’s interior presence.
McClellan’s college production—six sacks and eight tackles for loss in his final season—highlights his ability to disrupt the backfield and pressure the quarterback, a profile that would fit the Giants if Lawrence departs.
With multiple defensive-tackle visits on the docket, the Giants continue to load up interior options while monitoring Lawrence’s status and exploring potential trades as the 2026 draft approaches.
