Dez was touted as being one of the hardest workers on the team and someone who loved football more than anything... and if that’s not enough, his in-game passion, style of play & playing through injuries should speak to how much he was “into football”. Y’all just be saying anything on here.

Hardest workers on the team? I've heard all the compliments in the world about his passion and I wouldn't disagree, but championing his work ethic is a bit of a stretch. Just look at his splits by quarters of the season. Quarter 1 is by far his worst, quarters 2-4 are much better, and there's a general trend of improvement as the season progresses to quarter 4. He had one of Jerry's golden passes to half-*** training camp and preseason. Once he got in shape, his production went up.

He was an exceptionally gifted athlete, but was the furthest thing from a professional. In terms of being a professional, his physical and mental preparation never matched his raw ability. Kind of sad because he could have been even better had he put in more than the bare minimum.

So he gets to slide now? Ok. Let’s just let him play forever like Witten while we are at it since he has “earned the right to suck”.
Who said that? He also didn't slide last year. He had a very good year if you're not so simple as to only think sacks matter. You're not simple are you?

Anyway, the OP alleged that Lawrence was cancerous in going about getting a new contract. He.....wasn't.
