Would you bring DLaw back for 2024?

[Hawkeye0202]

No, he's not a free agent but I doubt he will play 2024 w/o new G'teed money. For me, yes w/o a doubt if he's willing to play for the $10M range. He is still a valuable piece of this D even w/o the sexy stats.




This is his contract........he restructured in 2022 ( $40M 30m G'teed) In other words, this is his final year of G'teed money.

Absolutely. Armstrong and Fowler are free agents so we absolutely need him back. Based on that contract he’s not going anywhere. It would be too much dead money.

That’s the intriguing one to me. A lot of DE depth eligible for FA, and our 3 year track record as the best pass DE rushing team probably will tempt some GMs. We found Fowler out there cheap, but DQ had history with him. Can we replace those guys for depth? They may not be as pricey as though as they were looking a year ago.

Considering there's no cost benefit or reason not to he will be back. More than likely the Cowboys will either add another short extension or dummy year to spread out the cap hit.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I don't get the question? He's having a great year and he's under contract.......you bring him back.

You aren't alone.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

He has no guaranteed money left on his contract after this year.........no way he playing w/o new money. Now that could be just a matter of adding another year via restructuring but he's not playing without it.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

So you are only saving 10 mil and then you have to sign or draft a player to replace his production. There is no doubt you keep him unless you are doing a full rebuild or something dumb. This isn't the Cooper situation where you saved 20 million and we had Lamb already for cheap.

 

[D4KADON]

anyone who says no is just hating at this point

Dude is the leader of this defense and is having his best season imo

You bring him back.

 

[mardwin]

He's coming back, there's no real alternative to replace Lawrence.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

BTW....notice his cap hit $20M

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I guess i'm confused. He's under contract....they would bring him back next year aso wouldn't he get all that money?

 

[charron]

The better better question is would you cut him a d if the answer is yes then why are you pretending to be a cowboys fan.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I guess i'm confused. He's under contract....they would bring him back next year aso wouldn't he get all that money?

Yes, he would but it's not guaranteed......I'm 100% certain he will ask for his release or refuse to report w/o a restructuring.

 

[removed_20241105]

If the real question is do we give him a new top contract to limit is cap hit next season, then I would not give a new top level contract. Otherwise, gotta keep him.

He has made $13M in the last couple of seasons..........my guess is a restructuring of $10M range should get it done.

Makes sense. He's really good. I know there’s plenty of money as the cap goes up, but it’s hard to ignore the checks that are about to be written for a couple Cowboys over the next year or so.

 

[slick325]

Yes

 

[Tabascocat]

If they want to keep any semblance of a run defense, they better find a way to keep him.

There’s like a 400k difference between his cap hit and dead money. There’s not much of a question he’ll be back… even with half of the performance he’s had this season!
