The best thing about this deal IMO is with two other franchise players looking for deals, Stephen took the lead and did his own thing w/o waiting for another team or agent to set the market for his player.

Pittsburgh Steelers, take note. The Dallas Cowboys have shown you and the rest of the league how to properly structure a long-term deal for a player who is restricted by the franchise tag.

With $20.56 million on the books for 2019 — and a chance to make $29.6 million under a third franchise tag in 2020 — Lawrence swapped the tag in the hand for a long-term deal that made sense for both sides.
