Demarcus Lawrence's play has been absolutely stellar this season and his gamble to play under the franchise tag is paying off. Although his sacks are down compared to last year, he is just as disruptive and shows up in defending the run It is safe to say a big contract coming his way.
Based off a couple of other recent deals (Mack Danielle Hunter, Von Miller and Vernon ), I put together a possible new deal.
5 years $100 million/$63 million guaranteed.
2019 cap hit - 16 million
2020 cap hit - 19 million
2021 cap hit - 21 million
2022 cap hit - 23 million (7 million in dead money and 16 million in cap savings, if released)
2023 cap hit - 23 million (23 million in cap savings, if released).
A structure like this would give the Dallas front office flexibility to restructure in future years or release him after 3 years (without too much dead money), if needed. According to over the cap, Dallas is expected to have cap space of $55 million in 2019, resulting in Dallas having $39 million available to expend with Lawrence only counting 16 million towards the cap.
What do you think of this deal and what are your thoughts on Demarcus Lawrence's future in Dallas?
