The fact that Lawrence is coming off his second back surgery in consecutive seasons - and not participating in OTA's yet, tells me he will be managed to start the year. Was never a fan of the resources used to draft him, but I think letting him settle back into a rotation on the strong side will work best for him. Will have to see how the Irving suspension plays out, but those two guys should man the LDE rotation.
Crawford, again coming off surgery on his shoulder - again. I have always looked at him as a rotation piece, nothing more, nothing less. The contract he was given was the FO fault, you cant blame the guy for taking it !
Ive said in multiple threads, just let him play 3-tech behind Collins. No more "position Flex" bull**** ! Get his body right and just be a piece of the puzzle. We have depth, maybe no war daddies to speak of, but I think we will have a fairly good rotation all across the front seven this year.
I will hold judgment on who if anyone gets another contract come the end of the season, but I would love for their play this year to make it a tough call for the FO to decide on come next offseason.
