I mean, he was arguably only ever "elite" for the first half of one season. His only elite season, 2017, was comprised of a fluky 10.5-sack tear in the first half followed by a more quiet second half.We finally have an elite defensive end.
And now everyone says he’s not worth paying.
No, that is not what we are saying, what we are saying is he is NOT WORTH MACK money....period. And if that is what he is wanting, TRADE his butt and move on.We finally have an elite defensive end.
And now everyone says he’s not worth paying.
Two timelines I'm watching, March 12 before the start free agency and week before the draft. If there's no long term deal by then, I certainly think he could be traded. FYI.....read a tweet that Jets and Colts have over $100M in cap space.
Just because the Cowboys botched the Charlton pick is bad logic for completely dismissing this notion.It’s like trading Lawrence for a chance at Taco Charlton and being excited about all the money you’d save.
Me.Seriously? Who thinks that’s a good idea?
Yea, but think about the press coverage and jersey sales.So...we are not giving Tank the 23 million that he wants but we are giving ET the 15 million that he wants.

It could have easily been T.J. Watt if we were halfway intelligent and did not have hangups on physical prototypes.
I understand your angst, but Lawrence was a 2nd round pick. In a perfect world, Lawrence will get signed, but if his contract demands are thru the roof, you have to have contingency plans.Late 1st round picks gets you guys like Taco, you might hit on one and get a quality player but chances are you’re not going to get someone like Lawrence. Bad idea
were used to mediocrity, trying to stay on parWe finally have an elite defensive end.

You can't have it both ways. If you're gonna rip the Cowboys for drafting Taco, then you should be able to give them the benefit of the doubt that they can also pull off drafting a stud DE like DLAW, who, as you know, was taking in the 2nd round.It’s like trading Lawrence for a chance at Taco Charlton and being excited about all the money you’d save.
Wanna betThe chances of getting a Taco with the Colts 1 are a lot better than the chances of getting a Watt. And they wouldn’t get Thomas and/or Suh with that money anyway.
Overpaying anyone because you are locked into one way of doing things is just as bad as missing in FA........ DLaw just isn't worth 20-23m for 4 years...... he is just another FA that we know a little betterYou either draft and sign your own guys or you dont...
If we are never gonna do anything in FA than you need to sign your good players
Good players arent cheap
for whom? the colts or the cowboys? great idea for the cowboys. colts, not so much.
Yeah a "team leader" that threatens to not have shoulder surgery until he gets paid. Me personally, I like my team leaders to act a little more professional, but that's just meAh to be a Cowboys fan. Years and years it took to find a big time pass rusher. Now they have him. A team leader, 26 years old. Let’s trade him for a couple picks so we can continue this 23 year rebuild.
Absolute madness.
You know when DLaw was drafted right?
Hint- it wasn't the 1st round
You are also getting 20m+ in cap spacePeople don’t usually win the lottery twice, it took 3 seasons for him to finally become a force who are you going to get that late in the draft that will be even 60% of what Lawrence is now in the next 2 or 3 seasons?
If our window is now then you don’t trade away our best defensive player for a 50/50 shot at getting someone half as good, specially at a position that is suddenly become a weakness
