Jones is better than D Law, vernon bout to be a cap casualty and they overpaid, and houston had a 22.5 sack season when he got extended. This year houston had 9 sacks in 12 games with 5 forced fumbles with a garbage secondary behind him. I never said JJ Watt tho. Mack has countless videos of him killing double teams. So does aaron donald. Those are 20 million dollar d lineman. Y pay a guy 20 mil if he needs talent around him to get to the QB?
Show me these "countless videos" of Mack. Even with Mack having a ton of help beside him, he had a whole 2 other sacks than Lawrence in 14 games - so, even if he played the other 2 games, he would have around 13-14 sacks.
And Chandler Jones is about on the level of Lawrence - they are JJ Watt's, but they are very good/great pass rushers and that is valuable. If you want to drive down the price of Lawrence, it will have to be with injury history and concerns going further and that is a legitimate gripe. However, you aren't getting a DE who has ranked within the top 5-10 defensive pass rushers in the league on the cheap otherwise, it just isn't going to happen. No matter how much you stomp, kick, and cry - pass rushers are too valuable in this league.
