I expected him to want a high number. Kid did fantastic this season leading the league most of the year in sacks. I don't think we give in to his demands of 17 million but if we tag him its close already. I can see us working a deal between those numbers

Just let him play out the year on the tag. Don’t commit big money to him just yet.

Edit: of course, we all know where this is going. JJ will give him a 5 year deal that’s just a shade under Vernon’s deal.

Tag will be more money. Might has well wrap him up. Dumb of us to let the first productive DE since Ware walk out the door. We need to add talent at defense, not lose it.
where did I say let him walk?
put the franchise tag on him....that keeps him here....work on long term deal.
tag...then talk.

At first I was thinking that Lawrence has only started 32 games out of 64. He's been injured and suspended.
But the two out of four seasons he's been productive he played most if not all of the year. If there's a way to throw him want he deserves but add a performance clause in his contract as well as make it so Dallas can opt out if he gets suspended again. He's a very good player when he was on the field, no question.

If he wants 17 mill then you have to franchise tag and make him prove it again.

If Dez Bryant can takes 3 steps back like he did when he got his money, along with several other Cowboys, then Demarcus Lawrence is no safe bet either.

Tag him and make him do it again.
