More than 5.5 after 14 games. This is 2 seasons in a row. The number 1 job of a pass rusher is to sack the QB and those that do that at a high level deserve that type of money. DLaw clearly has not been doing that at a high level.
But Lawrence is a defensive end not a pass rushing specialist lol. I think that’s the problem you are having. Robert Quinn is what you want not Demarcus Lawrence.

DLaw got paid 20 + mil because of what he did as a pass rusher. No one in their right mind gives a DE top 5 money if they are not producing sacks.

Why defensive players get top 5 money
DL - sacks
LB - tackles
DB - coverage - interceptions

This is either true or it's not

Yeah it’s not true. Lawrence is not a big time sack guy. Jerry chose to pay him because of what he meant to the Cowboys.

I know DLaw is not a sack guy. He took a vacation from sacks after he got Jerry's money....either true or it's not

Its just so subjective though....IMO, no one has really earned their check....but if I gauge players based on what they actually contribute? That's a different ball game. I can't fault a guy for what Jerry and co. paid them.
One thing you can say about him he is always hustling and around the ball, contract, no one forced Jerry to pay him that kind of money.

That's up to you.....even in his career he's had over 10 sacks how many times? Two or three? Thank goodness that there's more to being a good defensive end than jus sacks.

And that's all I'm saying. We can argue if he's worth the money. That's fine. But he's not in the same league as guys like Zeke and Jaylon. He's playing at a high level. Maybe not what Jerry paid but he's doing what he's suppose to do.

He had over 10 sacks the 2 seasons right before he signed his retirement bcheck

And so because of that you thought he was going to be Demarcus Ware lol? Maybe because both guys were named Demarcus? Your eyes showed you what he is and you rather look at what Jerry paid I'm to determine what he is. It makes no sense but ok.

No I didn't think anything. Other than he would live up to his contract. He has not.

How can you think he was going to live up to his deal when you don't even know what 20 million a year should give you lol.

Pro Bowl...flawed or not is suppose to have the best defensive ends in it correct?

Go look at what Brandon Graham, Chase Young and Cam Jordan have done...if this is the best in the league than Lawrence surely is one of them.

He doesn't know. I asked him repeatedly....and he just wants to fight with people.

He could have simply answered it the first time. Or heck...just quickly repeated what he CLAIMS he said. He'd rather be obscure and fight about it than be clear and end the matter...He's either troll or a di-....er.... something else.

When considering the amount of snaps Lawrence has had a better season than Young and Graham...them going to the pro bowl ahead of him is a joke. Haven't looked at Jordan's snaps.
