PFF: DLaw projected new contract, 6 years, $126M, $60M guaranteed

[Tabascocat]

Lawrence isn't elite, can't pay him that kind of money with a salary cap. If there weren't quite a few expensive contracts coming up, then it might be worth it to hang onto him.

Sure, Dallas can work the cap and pay him but is it worth it? I just don't know......

He isn’t elite? You don’t double scrubs.....

 

[Tabascocat]

He isn’t elite? You don’t double scrubs.....

I don't think he is, a notch below in the "very good" category

 

[Beaker42]

If that’s the going rate then that’s the going rate.

Not worth it for a guy who plays Houdini the 2nd 8 games.

 

[Vanilla2]

Pay him

 

[NEODOG]

Man, I picked the wrong career path.

You possess elite edge-rush speed

 

[DanA]

I put Lawrence in the category below Khalil Mack, Von Miller and Aaron Donald but above guys like Oliver Vernon and Chandler Jones.

I figure that puts him pretty much smack bang on 20m a season

 

[America's Cowboy]

Too bad Taco sucks and Gregory is still a big unknown. Unless a discount is worked out, D-Law and his agent are going to milk the Cowboys for everything they've got. Doesn't bode well to keep a competitive team together at this pace.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

20 million is too much , can pay several stars with that money .

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

He'll have us over a barrel. We will have to pay him more than he's worth to keep him coz it's obvious there is no plan b. There is no quick fix to fill his spot if we let him go. Just glad it's not my cheque book that's covering it.

 

[BrassCowboy]

he is good, but not close to that good. if it is anywhere near that ridiculous figure, then let him walk

 

[buybuydandavis]

That's WAY too much for Tank. I like the player, but not $20+million per year.

I definitely don't like 60mil guaranteed.

I've seen another estimate with 30mil guaranteed over two years. Ok. I can live with that. Won't like it, but live with it for lack of options.

4 sacks in the last 10 games this year. Ran out of gas in the back half of the last two seasons. Two back surgeries, now a shoulder surgery.

Not 60mil guaranteed for that. Not 20mil a year. Nope. I'll let him go and take our 3rd. If that's the contract, think about franchising for one more year at 20mil, then move on.

Don't do it.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Just franchise him again. If he won’t play then try and trade him.

I don’t even think the franchise tag is over 20 million.

 

[CCBoy]

Yikes!!! He’s been very good! But not THAT good!

That is market value and at his age, someone will gladly pay it, if not the Cowboys.

 

[CCBoy]

Just franchise him again. If he won’t play then try and trade him.

I don’t even think the franchise tag is over 20 million.

He's earned it, and if franchised yet again...he'll end up another Bell situation and sit out.

 

[CCBoy]

Has he taken Goff's soul yet? He'd have to actually touch him first.

Too easily neutralized too often for that kind of money.

Singing praises for Goff? Move on from a single game, guy...

 

[CCBoy]

Don't hiccup and go stupid now, Stephen...how many years in between dominant defensive ends?

 

[Jipper]

Nope

 

[CCBoy]

Nope

First up, how are YOU going to replace him...no?

Better yet, take an Indian youth and make him a real live Cowboy...

 

[eastsideboy]

I don't know about tank. But that's the exact contract i would offer dak. If he wants to be a cowboy. Let's find out.
