It wouldn't be the worst idea. But I think we'd have to just cut Lawrence as I don't think he holds any trade value. Lawrence's base salary in 2022 is 19m and IMO he hasn't played at that level for 2-3 years (if ever). There is no guaranteed money left on his contract, but there would still be a 19m cap hit from kicking the can down the road (with signing/restructure bonuses).
We could save his 19m base salary and give most of it to Gregory shoring up RDE, this creates room for Golston to start at LDE and Basham to be backup....that makes a lot of sense to me. Personally though, I like Lawrence and think he's a good locker room presence, so I'd probably ask Lawrence to take a cut in base salary to 10-12m (guaranteed) with incentives allowing him to to get back to 19m if he performs well. If he doesn't go for it....cut bait as a post June 1st cut. I don't think we can afford for Lawrence to have a 19m base salary with best evidence suggesting he won't stay health or perform to the required level his contract commands.
