The Cowboys most underappreciated player could use a little more appreciation.
By Dan Rogers Jun 10, 2024
The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of business to do as three of their biggest stars are coming to the end of their contracts. Extending Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and eventually Micah Parsons are all important moves the front office needs to get done so the team can stay competitive for years to come. While it’s hard to find more valuable players than the big three, another guy on the team is almost as valuable and happens to have an expiring contract coming as well. That guy is DeMarcus Lawrence.
Lawrence has played 10 seasons in the league and even still, people aren’t sure what to make of him. For some fans, he’s one of the most underrated players in the game as he’s always getting his hands dirty and coming up with big plays. His contributions don’t go unnoticed by broadcasters as they have been singing his praise for years. It’s hard to make it through a game without someone talking about how valuable he is.
Whether you owned stock in Tank, Inc. early or late, it’s pretty clear that he’s a valuable asset. Lawrence will be an unrestricted free agent next year, and what’s next for him is unknown, but he hinted around last week that he has no interest in hanging things up and could play another five years.
The thinking for some might be that Lawrence would play out the remainder of his contract in Dallas and then the team would replace him with younger players. After all, they selected a run-stopping defensive end in the second round of April’s draft, the same round they got Lawrence in ten years ago. However, there might be a better option and that option would be keeping him around a little longer. Here are four reasons why this makes sense.
HE’S STILL REALLY GOOD
HE’S RESILIENT
HE’S A HIGH-CHARACTER GUY
HE’S AFFORDABLE
