Signed by Cowboys Lawrence contract extended

[Daillest88]

Heck yeah , great pass rusher not elite but one of the best vs the run in the business.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Which is really all we have to do. Bring the band back together again.

Starting Chauncey Golston or Tarell Basham at end isn't really an exciting alternative either, but I get your point.

 

[Risen Star]

Took a pay cut in exchange for guaranteed money. Solid move for everyone.

Yes that's what happened. I wasn't sure how many years were left on his old deal.

 

[starfan1]

Jesus the people the this front office continues to hitch their wagons to. Oh well he’s good just not a difference maker he’s paid to be

The Cowboys' defense was significantly better in games Lawrence played in 2021. It's not all about sacks. It's about pressures, stopping the run, setting the edge, drawing blockers' attention, etc.. Lawrence might rub some people the wrong way but the players in the locker room recognize how hard he works and see him as a leader. If the Cowboys got rid of him it would have a negative effect across the board.

DLAW play 5 games in 2021. 3 of them. were against lose teams like WFT and Philly....DLAW was a NO SHOW in the Cardinals Game...and in the playoffs.... DLAW only shows up in loser games......he is a JAG..... a No-show when it counts

 

[RandyOh]

I swear some of y’all have the torches and pitchforks at the ready for anything this team does. This was a surprisingly solid move.

 

[conner01]

Now go lock up Kearse and Gregory and sign Wagner

2 out 3 are maybe possible
3 out of 3 ain’t happening

 

[blueblood70]

You still have to pay him every Penney

would have had to pay him 90% of his money if we were forced to cut him and that to NOT play..now hes far cheaper and is playing. basiclaly playing for what it would have cost to pay him to leave..its win win.

 

[Carson]

2 out 3 are maybe possible
3 out of 3 ain’t happening

At this point I’ll take Gregory, Kearse and any new starter that’s worth it

Too many people overlook that. One word to describe D-Law's game is violent. I would bet he's more respected around the league than he is by fans if I had to guess.

 

[MonsterD]

Someone smarter than me please explain… is this just a nice way to say he took a “fully guaranteed pay cut”?

Ok this is his contract as of earlier today see his base for 2022 and 2023? It is 40million, which is the amount of this new 3 year deal.

The new contract is 40 mil over 3 years is like 13.3 million a year as opposed to that darker grey box of 27 million. So we now added around 13 million or more to the cap this year.

That is my answer but again I am not a cap numbers or accountant math is my worst subject of learning.

 

[Syron]

2 out 3 are maybe possible
3 out of 3 ain’t happening

Sadly, 1 out of 3 is what will probably happen

 

[Risen Star]

So basically I titled the thread wrong and misled everyone.

I'll self ban but I request it's done after this wave of free agency.

I'd ask the staff to edit but they love to hang my piss stained sheets up for all to see.

 

[Loso86]

Ya, Diggs is crap.

Oh yea and 7

 

[Cowpolk]

Nah...dont no nothing about football....Im just a 12yr old kid living in my moms basement......

Do you eat pot pies down there?

 

[conner01]

At this point I’ll take Gregory, Kearse and any new starter that’s worth it

The Kearse deal is probably pretty easy
Gregory could get complicated if a few teams jump in
Wagner is not likely at all unless he accept less than market value

 

[Daillest88]

So
Cowboys after this signing have about 27 in cap room?

 

[TNCowboy]

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

The best player on our D is Parsons and no one else is remotely close.

 

[AbeBeta]

Yes that's what happened. I wasn't sure how many years were left on his old deal.

think it was 2

Thank you DLaw!
