Twitter: Demarcus Lawrence hungry to get back

[J12B]

Hope to see #90 soon

And I’m hungry for you, Lawrence, to start playing like the highest paid defensive player in the NFL.

I eagerly await his return but I don't think he understands how hungry we fans have been for him to produce.

He has to prove himself or be traded to make room for Gregory's re-signing. But that's just me talking out of my backside.

He’s probably feeling how La’el feels right now. They know they’re better than who replaced them, but their replacements played well and for much cheaper. Step up or cya come Spring

Here's hoping he's hungry enough to make it count when he does get back.

Never happen. He's not that good.

However....... Jed paid him. I have no beef with that. I'd take it.

It wouldn't be the worst idea. But I think we'd have to just cut Lawrence as I don't think he holds any trade value. Lawrence's base salary in 2022 is 19m and IMO he hasn't played at that level for 2-3 years (if ever). There is no guaranteed money left on his contract, but there would still be a 19m cap hit from kicking the can down the road (with signing/restructure bonuses).

We could save his 19m base salary and give most of it to Gregory shoring up RDE, this creates room for Golston to start at LDE and Basham to be backup....that makes a lot of sense to me. Personally though, I like Lawrence and think he's a good locker room presence, so I'd probably ask Lawrence to take a cut in base salary to 10-12m (guaranteed) with incentives allowing him to to get back to 19m if he performs well. If he doesn't go for it....cut bait as a post June 1st cut. I don't think we can afford for Lawrence to have a 19m base salary with best evidence suggesting he won't stay health or perform to the required level his contract commands.

I'd rather see Parsons line up at DE

 

[plasticman]

Opponents will no longer be able to focus on him the way they have in the past. Who will they double team, him or Gregory?

What does the opponent do if the Cowboys put Lawrence, Gregory, and Parsons on the line for 3rd and long? And don't forget to add in Osa.

Lawrence will do well with the improved talent on defense.

 

[Texas2Step41]

Really hope he can actually back up his social media talk on the field this time

 

[BAT]

I hope he's 1000% healthy.

No more excuses.

 

[Tussinman]

Of course he's hungry, him and his agent know that the cowboys can save almost 20 a year for the next 2 years by cutting him.

[Rack]

I'm hungry for him to play like he did his contract year. THAT Tank was unstoppable.

 

[Zman5]

We need him to help stop the run more than anything else. There is no denying he's been the best run defender on the team. Some sacks would be nice too.

 

[Walker]

The team could use him, the dude hasn't played up to his contract and now with other ballers on the team there is no excuse of these double teams.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Did he buy himself that Abrams tank with all that money?

 

[DogFace]

They can’t double him and Randy. Rush Parsons too on passing downs.

Maybe in the playoff game vs Arizona have Parsons spy Murray. Otherwise rush all 3.
