You don't know that. He will sign eventually.

what do you mean I don't know that.
I know he isn't signing right now, and he hasn't signed. you don't known if he will, he could play the year on the tag, and next on a tag. There's no reason for him to rush to sign.

He will sign his tag if he wants to play football in 2020. I believe he will sign a long term deal by the July 15th deadline. You just know what's happened so far, which don't mean anything.

yes, I do know what happened so far. He hasn't signed, and it's up to him when and if he signs the tag. which goes back to your "they need to get him signed" Dak is in the driver seat and they're not.

sacks isn't everything. Lawerence had 5.

Tell that to a franchise when they are giving 9 figure contracts.

And "hotboy" Dlaw disappeared last year. I don't care what the excuse is. He didnt live up to his contract.

And Clownet will get a 9 figure contract without the sacks. you're point?

Yes. But it wasn’t a contract year for lawerence

plus throw in Clowney had been a 3-4 rush LB when he seemed to be hitting his strike and last year as a hand in the dirt 4-3 end he had those pedestrian 3 sacks

Exactly. Lawrence only had 5 sacks, but he also had 56 QB pressures and a top ten grade vs. the run. He had a great season last year but people look at the sack totals and think otherwise.

Do you not know anything about human nature? He is a football player, that's what he is passionate about and even more importantly he's dreamed of playing for the Dallas Cowboys since he was a child. So he is a slave to his desires. He will sign his tag because he wants to play football. He will sign a new deal with the Cowboys because he owes it to that child he used to be that dreamed of being a Cowboy.

even with his hand in the dirt he got pressure on the qb in Seattle and played very well vs run, it's not like Lawerence had multiple huge sack seasons. Yet we paid him for other things he does very well.

For the season, Clowney has gobbled up 44 total pressures with 32 hurries, nine QB hits and three sacks, per Pro Football Focus. Look past the sack numbers to see Clowney's influence on the field.Nov 21, 2019

This has nothing to do with human nature, this has to do with business and getting what he feel is the most money. you need to get over the human nature junk, it's that thinking by the front office that put them in a bind. Cousins signed 2 tags and then left Washington, it's about the money.

This I believe that’s like 14 more hurried than Dlaw

Actual sacks arent as good of a barometer as something like QB pressures.

Sacks are great, but rare. The best of the best average less than one a game, but if you get to where you can disrupt the play into an incompletion, that's worth something.

As long as the QB doesnt have all day the DL is doing its job.
