Sacks ain't everything
Sacks matter, yes he is over paid, but the guy is still a really good football player. Very few players actually live up to the standard of new contracts, but you’ve got to keep some guys around.And the 3rd highest paid DE in the league...
when you’re making $21 million/year, lack of sacks do matter. Sacks change outcomes of games.

I agree with you there, man. My issue is only the money, relative to performance. If he was making $15-16 million instead of $21, I’d love the guy. He’s a strong locker room leader tooSacks matter, yes he is over paid, but the guy is still a really good football player.

Theres always an effort to minimize their importance when they’re not there. The fact is that Mack, Donald, and Lawrence all got their big contracts because they were putting up big sack numbers.
Agreed. It may not be ALL about sacks, but 35 guys had more sacks than Lawrence in 2020. No matter what metric people want to use... for the money he’s making, that’s a disgusting stat.
I hope his sack numbers rebound.
Hopefully, he won't be playing part of the season on one leg like he was last year. I get that we expect a lot from him for what he's paid, but some seem to give him no credit for fighting through a knee injury in 13 games.
It's fair to wonder if he can stay healthy, since he had the ankle injury his rookie year, shoulder surgery after receiving his big contract and the knee injury this year. However, we can't question his willingness to play hurt.

If DLaw gets an inkling of an inside push from the DT's he's automatic 10 sacks a year.
DLaw haters don't watch the tape.
