News: Dallas Cowboys: Will DeMarcus Lawrence be on the roster in 2018?

[Idgit]

Irving is easier, can he or can he not play a full game, we do now hes a good part time player. Thats easy. The problem with DL is, the back, and at this stage, its easier to dump him and move on. Its not going to fully heal and even if it does, he might have a better career with another team. We have to remember also, what one player does with a team is not automatic its what they will do with another team. Tho at this junction Dallas can just fill the spot and move on. Its not like DL is going to make or break us.

Irving, though, is streaky. But he's shown signs of being able to completely take over games--more than once. Throw in the suspension and the issues he had coming out of college. He's definitely going to get a big deal from somebody. Probably us. But he's got a risk factor because of the conduct issues.

At least we get another year to decide what we want to do, but he's not going to be cheap.

They are just trying to set a judgement point to see if he earns retention...based upon their own standard for under achieving. But a person can watch the earn it standard, independent of the reasons they chose for being in question for next season.

Lol! What?

Dallas Cowboys: Will DeMarcus Lawrence be on the roster in 2018?

...The team from a personnel standpoint seems to be saying that they do not want Lawrence to leave but they are prepared for his departure if a bidding war ensues over his contract during free agency.

Lawrence has made some big plays during his time with Dallas but one could easily say that players such as David Irving or Maliek Collins would not have similar results. The only way I see the team bringing back Lawrence is if he has an 8 plus sack total at the end of the season.

That would not only show his growth in this defensive scheme but the ability to continually get to opposing quarterbacks. Probably the most important thing for Lawrence will be his ability to stay healthy and out of trouble.

If he can play a full 16 games with consistency and productivity, the Cowboys could feel compelled to pay him for his future potential/production. Anyway you look at it is an interesting dilemma....

Taco replaces him.

He is gone after this year.

We will draft another DL.

Lawrence has showed up to mini camp in better shape and appears to be fully healthy. He also won’t miss the first quarter of the season thanks to a suspension as he seems to have learned from his mistake. If he can return to his 2015 form, our 'Boys would have to be thrilled. If he becomes a full fledged beast, they would be ecstatic. Should he continue to struggled with consistency and health, they could move on from him after this contract season. Time will tell what the final result will be, but at least he seems to have the right mindset. Give him another chance. What have WE got to lose.

 

[Stash]

Based on what's happened with Lawrence to date? Of course not. That's not even worth asking. If he doesn't come on this year with a career season, he'll be playing elsewhere.

The only question to be asked would depend on if he did have a career season in 2017, as in double digit sacks or maybe even somehow a Pro Bowl season. If that were to somehow happen? All bets are off and maybe the Cowboys' tune would change.

But as it stands? Lawrence is playing for his future, in Dallas or elsewhere. All of the onus and pressure is on him to turn things around and make the Cowboys - or someone else - want him.

Depends on a number of things.

If he stays healthy and has an All Pro year, his value will be through the roof. We might even get outbid by another team, but fans would definitely be upset that we lost him.

If he flashes more potential but fails to stay healthy again, we might get him on a one-year "prove it" deal like we did Claiborne. Depending on the market and/or the production of our other DEs on the roster, we may want to keep him.

If he has a solid, healthy year but players like Taco, Irving and Tapper show loads of potential, we may move on from D-Law and save some money.

If we're awful at DE and none of the young guys show any sign they can be reliable contributors, we may be desperate to hold onto any veteran talent we can.

He gets a one year deal like Mo did two years ago.
