Demarcus Lawrence wants at least $17 mil per year

[millennial_legend]

..dont do it Jerry. Learn from Billicheck how you do things. For that price you can get 2 younger players who could pan out well. These ordeals always fallout with cowboys. History speaks volumes.

That's like the kid who got 2 nickels for a quarter because he thought 2 is better than one

We have seen what qb's can do when given a lot of time I in the pocket to find an open receivers. Aaron Rodgers comes to mind. We finally have an elite edge rusher and some are suggesting let him go??? Omg.

 

[Johnny23]

Why wouldn't he ask for what Vernon got?

He is Alex.

 

[Mobinvans]

Tag him, only had one good season, no brainer

 

[Toruk_Makto]

He's going to play under the tag or take a deal that acknowledges he hasn't been a great player for 3 out of his 4 seasons with us.

Exactly...............he either gives Dallas a hometown discount or he plays on the tag

He needs to prove it to me again... I'll be damn if I'd pay him based off one year of production.

 

[Hadenough]

If he wants 17 mill then you have to franchise tag and make him prove it again.

If Dez Bryant can takes 3 steps back like he did when he got his money, along with several other Cowboys, then Demarcus Lawrence is no safe bet either.

Tag him and make him do it again.

I dont know what the big deal is! If he werent in Dallas we would all be crying how Dallas should go after a guy like that! If you tag him and he plays well again there is a good chance he will get even more money. Sign him to a 4 year deal and while their at they should sign Irving too. Cut Dez and your basically getting two for the price of one!

This according to NFL.com

DL would throw his back out trying to carry $17 mil.

Exactly my thoughts, I don't trust guys who finally show up in contract years.

 

[CouchCoach]

I would prefer they keep Hitchens and Irving and take a DT in the 1st. Maybe Ganjory will play and Tapper can stay healthy.

Lawrence is about 5M a year high in what he wants but I'm sure there's some team that will pay it.

 

[uvaballa]

Franchise him and make him prove it again.

 

[Nightman]

Almost no one here wanted to sign OVernon, Chandler Jones or M Ingram the last couple years and they all had better track records than DLaw

Throwing 17m at him even for one year is a huge overpay

 

[coult44]

Y'all want to win but don't want to pay anyone. Keep bringing in Pea and Carroll type cheeeeeeep sorry guys. How's that been working out?

 

[CyberB0b]

Not giving a 1 year wonder anywhere close to that. Let him walk.

 

[Praxit]

That's like the kid who got 2 nickels for a quarter because he thought 2 is better than one

..that kid has same bad luck as cowboys do......

We should have traded our 4th round pick for Robert Quinn.

 

[Aviano90]

All our money needs to go to the offensive line and Dez. We don’t want to pay for defensive players. Rod maybe can get Taco to perform one year before we let him walk.

I forgot about that unwritten rule but your right they dont spend on defense!

a 4th and 6th and don't forget anew expensive contract that will be close as Tank..its why they traded him they couldn't afford him and Donald..read the article all teams have to make these decisions and let good players go due to salary cap issues..
