I hear ya, then who you not resigning? SOMEBODY has to walk out the door if we do this. Cant have it all.pay the man.
don't care if its a historic deal or team friendly...KEEP 90!!!!!!!
Well said. Anyone not willing to acknowledge that Lawrence no shows in the last half of the season are just blind.
watch it, you might trigger some here lol. You came with facts.Last 26 games - 14.5 sacks.
Last 10 games - 4 sacks.
To whom does that look elite?
Oh, I forgot. Sacks don't matter. It's the winning smile that counts for a DE.
NFL 1st offense for steroid use is 4 games suspension!That might be true, but to get suspended means you have failed before . He was already fined 4 games for a failed test before . So it's not like this was a one time failed drug test.
True, you are correct. He's was fined 4 games for substance abuse. Either way, we have a player we might sign to top $ who had been in both drug programs. LolNFL 1st offense for steroid use is 4 games suspension!
Hmmm... back hasn't been an issue in 2 years, any sort of drug issue in 3, I'm thinking it's time to sign away. The onus do do so is compelling especially when you consider the draft resources put into the position the last 5 years and him being the only one who's not only note worthy but exceptional too!True, you are correct.

Exceptional is where disagree. He's been good, but not great. Great in the first 4 games but ok the next 12. That's good, but great.Hmmm... back hasn't been an issue in 2 years, any sort of drug issue in 3, I'm thinking it's time to sign away.

Theres alot more to playing de than just sacks which he's had 24 in the last 2 seasons. They're going to pay him handsomely. Might want to start getting use to it!Exceptional is where disagree. He's been good, but not great. Great in the first 4 games but ok the next 12. That's good, but great.
Back surgery before the 2016 season, before the 2017 season and shoulder now. Injurie don't tend to get better with age especially back.
With all that said, if he was a great or exceptional player id be more on board paying him top $. Getting half your sacks and tfl in the first 4 games and disappearing the rest of the year is not exceptional. Drops off bad in other categories too after the first 4 and defiantly after the 1st half. Not worth top $.
Imagine if your salary for next year was determined by a single day at the office when your entire team performed poorly. Wouldn't that be something.Quick, someone show him his tape from the divisional
Not just sacks . He drops of after the 1st 4 games in all categories. He drops by half, close to half or a little more than half in most categories in the last 12 compared to the first 4. He's a Sept beast .Theres alot more to playing de than just sacks which he's had 24 in the last 2 seasons. They're going to pay him handsomely. Might want to start getting use to it!

It's not overstating it.
In 2017 he had 14.5 sacks. 7.5 of them came in the first 4 games. The 12 after(3/4) he had 7. He did more in sacks in 4 games than he did the rest of the year. He played like a double digit sack guy in the first 4 games and single digit sack guy for the next 12. TFL was the same thing. 8 in the first 4 games and 7 for the next 12 (3/4) Again, He did more in the first 4 than he did the next 12. QB hits were a bit better but still a big drop off. 11 in the first 4 and 15 in the next 12.
2018 wasn't any better. 10.5 sacks and 5.5 and half of them came in the first 4. The next 12 he had 5. Once again he did more in the first 4 than he did in the next 12. TFL in 2018, 8 in the first 4 and 7 for the next 12. Once again, He did more in the first 4 than he did in the next 12. QB hits once again was a bit better but a drop off. 9 in the first 4 and 14 the next 12. That's of over 2 a game for the first 4 and a bit over 1 game the next 12. Dropped half.
He disappears for 3/4 of the season. I realize there is more to de than sacks. But even in tfl he disappears . He drops of in his tackles also. I think he's a very good run stopping de and I'm more impressed with that than I am his pass rushing ability but he drops off in that too.
If I'm going to HAVE TO pay a guy who has great 4 games stretch it will be one who's has in the last 4 games not the first 4. Although it's not all about sacks, pass rushers biggest stat and what teams pay the on is sacks. It's not the only thing but it's the main thing. He has them overall but its a issue when he disappears for 3/4 of the season. Hes a beast in Sept with 13 sacks the past 2 years in Sept. He has 3 in the month of December COMBINE the past 2 years. Thats a issue.
