Signed by Cowboys Lawrence contract extended

[Frosty]

He is underrated but really a beast!

what are you drinking....A BEAST.....OMG what team are you watching.....the dude barely played last year and was a DUDE in the playoffs......DLAW is all talk......King of Smoke and Mirrors.....he is great at doing a disappearing act and collecting money

I'm confused. Does this mean he has 3 additional years added to his pre-existing contract that guarantees him 10 million per year? Or did he agree for 10 million a year for the next 3 years?

I'm not sure either, but the way I read it is Lawrence is getting more guaranteed money while the Cowboys get three more years to spread out his cap hit. His charge for 2022 is going down so hopefully that leads to some free agent activity soon.

 

[BAT]

Does this make his contract completely untradeable?

 

[Majic]

The question is, what will the cap hit be if you cut him at the end of 2022? Presumably you can spread this over 2 years so not much?

Love this move.

It'll probably create about $8 to $10 million in cap space this season. And we get to keep a very talented DE.

 

[Ranched]

WTH OVER.....OMG Jerry and Stephen Jones must be senile......SO STUPID... DID I SAY SO STUPID...the dude is injury prone....


I am just lost.....my Cowboys fan hood is now in question......the FO has gone off the rails....

Not happy at this end either. The guy's a total primadonna/Hot Boyz jerk!

Best all around player on our defense... And that's not saying much, but still, good player.

What team have you been watching?! Certainly not Dallas. You know, that franchise whose rookie Micah Parsons won every award possible playing defense.

 

[cowboyec]

this kinda math makes my head hurt...but i'm glad he's ours and not somebody else's.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Did you forget about Parsons? He can do everything a LBer or DE is suppose to do. All of it.

Dlaw is good against the pass and the run is all I'm saying. Parsons is good against the pass and will get better against the run I'm sure...

 

[Gaede]

I'm assuming this mean cap relief, which is great. Also, I know ppl don't like him, but Dlaw has been far and away the best player on our D for years, up until last year. When he did finally play last year, he made a ton of plays. This is really good news for next year's defense.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Jerry backed down and took care of his guys again instead of making the hard choice of moving on.

 

[Majic]

I just hope the cap hit is lower at the end of 2022 if you cut him than what it is right now

 

[Killerinstinct]

Sounds like a pay cut being spun

 

[gimmesix]

Or just restructured. I don't know.

I bet we extended it as a way to change the cap hit for the next couple of years. Could have restructured, but it would have made the next two years very unwieldy.

 

[Malhavoc]

So what do they do with the cap space ? That’s what matters.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Good..........guess they chose him over Gregory

 

[Loso86]

JJ was getting bashed let's see if he gets credit for this move which save us another 10 plus mil against the cap

 

[MarcusRock]

Not happy at this end either. The guy's a total primadonna/Hot Boyz jerk!

And rich!
