Demarcus Lawrence - the most overpaid player in the league

[BourbonBalz]

Jaylon Smith will give him a run for his money. WAY overrated.

 

[Hennessy_King]

The interior of the defense was thoroughly exposed and has been a weakness for years now. Ball was put quick and they ran right up the middle. Tough for D Law to impact this game

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You’re right there. He may not be coasting. Who really knows. But he is not producing the way his salary would suggest he should. We’re on the same page then

Naw not at all. But I knew this would happen. I knew it would happen with Zeke, Jaylon.....all of these guys. Zeke has some produced so maybe its unfair to put him in there but Cowboys got desperate because they thought they could contend now last season with him and he took advantage. Not mad at him for it but Cowboys definitely will regret that deal.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

If Dak's gotta produce, same standards then for Lawrence who got paid.

What does Dak have to do with Lawrence though?>

 

[Praxit]

Not the team, probably the LEAGUE. All bark no bite. Didn’t do a damn thing even with having less attention on him. Tired of the guy!

..does that mean I have to burn my, "Hot Boyz" Tee? ......

You thought Zeke was mediocre tonight? That's one of the best games I've ever seen him play.

No, he was solid tonight, but his contract was ridiculous. He had 2 years left and started holding out.

Was not a sign of his contact signing. Had one good year and Jerry jumped

even his one good year was when he wracked up stats thanks to playing a really bad giants team twice. Most of his sacks that year came against them. If you looked at just playoff teams he had like 1/2 a sack that year. But everyone was clamoring for him to be singed and how awful it would be if he walked,

You knew what would happen? You thought they’d stop producing as well after signing their contracts? Just curious what you meant by that.

Most definitely, there are some terrible contracts on the team. Zeke isn’t what he used to be, but he’s still a top 3 back. Our line was not very good tonight, but Zeke chugged a long and showed some good agility.

Lawrence and Jaylon are terrible signings though. And with the gift of Lamb, I’m worried that Cooper will end up being a bad signing too

Not stop producing but not live up to what they signed. I like Lawrence and I think he's a great player but he's not the player that's going to produce at his salary. His paid like he's a 15 sack type guy.....but he's not and never will be.

no he's the 2nd most overpaid after Dak.

Half a sack in the back half of last season. All major stats significantly down from the previous year.

"Hot Boy"

Yeah I would say everyone on that list sucked tonight but Zeke. Zeke was the only reason we had a shot in the end. DLaw, Coop, Jaylon and Crawford were non factors. Elliot had 2 td's and close to 100 yards rushing.

 

[Croomraider]

Every DLineman in the NFL is overpaid if the opposing QB throws the ball in 1.7 seconds.

Dude got paid...............simply as that.

How sad is it that Aldon has been home sitting on the couch for 5 years and was the best player on defense tonight?

Really ? Looked like the edges were weak to me? Bunch of bootlegs and screens...I saw Dlaw lose contain multiple times. The dude is making Aaron Donald money LMAO. Let that sink in.

 

[Clove]

One hit wonder.

 

[jay94]

In fairness of Lawrence hard to do anything when the qb on average is throwing it 4.9 yards, the whole ***** game, maybe 3 throws, and our defense makes ZERO adjustments.

I agree with you but @aria would probably tell you the most overpaid is Zeke.

Lawrence like Dak has to produce.

Defense kept dallas in the game beside the obvious mistakes by the rams.
