Signed by Cowboys Lawrence contract extended

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Great. 3 more years of him running his mouth while producing little.

cue the “but but but he does all the little things that don’t show up on the stat line” crowd

LOL

 

[phildadon86]

So where are we with cap space now

27 mil I think.

 

[Flamma]

It's good for the cap. Now lets rush Parsons more from the other side and have offenses try to stop both.

 

[John813]

Surprising to see talk of a pay cut to an extension so soon.

Seems like a reasonable extension

 

[john van brocklin]

Best all around player on our defense... And that's not saying much, but still, good player.

I would say Parsons would disagree with you.

 

[Adiba1977]

Cap update? What left spend. Need Gregory / hooker /Kearse signed. Also anger the punter. Then with what left sign best lb/ol free agent can.

 

[Tussinman]

OTC shows it as just 3/30 but all guaranteed
Guess tomorrow we will see the detailed breakdown

The original annoucement was just "3 years with 30 million guranteed" but the total amount of the contract is 40 million

https://www.nfl.com/news/cowboys-de-demarcus-lawrence-agrees-to-new-three-year-40m-deal

Instead of 2 years 40 million with zero guranteed (his current deal) they basically added a 3rd year to spread the 40 million but jacked up his guranteed money as a reward for taking a paycut on paper

 

[Adiba1977]

Also get shultz off the tag. Give him 3/30 back loaded deal.

 

[plymkr]

I believe we have him for 3 more years at 10M, but all three years are fully guaranteed. This is a team-friendly deal IMO.

Nice, I'll take that. I'm surprised I'm saying this but that was a good move by our front office. Shocking. Lol, but seriously that is good.

They not signing the punter, they prefer Jones back to save a penny.

Per Bobby Belt

With Lawrence's new deal the Cowboys have about $28 million in cap space. If they can work out a deal with Dalton Schultz they can probably add an extra $5 million or so.

 

[Kingofholland]

He didn’t have 3 years left
I guess technically it’s a one year extension
But he makes less and cap hit is less
But it’s guaranteed

I think there was a dummy year at the end for cap purposes but wasn't a real contract year. Now it is, lowering and spreading out remaining cap hits.

WTH OVER.....OMG Jerry and Stephen Jones must be senile......SO STUPID... DID I SAY SO STUPID...the dude is injury prone....


I am just lost.....my Cowboys fan hood is now in question......the FO has gone off the rails....

We like our guys is not just a catch phrase.
They really like and overvalue their own players.
This happens when you have don't have real qualified front office personnel evaluating.

 

[plymkr]

if he was released or traded people would say its a bad move

hes staying and people will still complain

if youre looking at sack numbers for dlaw then idk what to tell you.....hes not dwight freeney hes an all around defensive end whos good at everything you have someone that can free up linebackers stop the run apply pressure and and set the edge on run plays

Him staying for 10 million is good. That's about where his play is. I feel this is a good move for us. And I'm one that is a complainer but I can't complain about this.

 

[Mr_437]

Also get shultz off the tag. Give him 3/30 back loaded deal.

Yes, if they fix the Shultz contract into something reasonable things will be looking up.

 

[irishline]

Collins would be around 10 if cut, but I dont think we get that until June 1

Yes but if we get that in June we could use it to sign our draft picks freeing up more money now.

 

[NorthTexan95]

Good..........guess they chose him over Gregory

You really don't understand this contract. It gives them a lot more money to resign Gregory.

 

[texbumthelife]

Best all around player on our defense... And that's not saying much, but still, good player.

What?

Parsons is a better all around player than Lawrence and better at everything Lawrence is good at. Stop it.

I'd like to see how it's structured. No doubt it's a cap saving move. (I hope)
