Leading candidates are

The Pro Bowl Defensive end who will miss a games due to suspension

The highly touted rookie.

The 2nd year man who seemed to pick it up late in the year.

With a dark horse undertackle who created significant pressure his first year at the position but didnt finish

Lawrence
After starting to emerge last year, and with an entire off season, and TC he will start to produce. And produce even more once Hardy returns. At first people will co,plan about Lawrence as he may be the one getting double teamed at times.
Then when Hardy returns, takes the pressure off, he will get more sacks.

If Hardy only misses 2 to 4 games, and not 10, then Hardy will lead in sacks.

Most likely DLaw
I hope to see Hardy play over 10 games,,,if so he gets his share.
Gregory should get some too.

Eli, Sam and RG3 should take note.

Gregory could be a darkhorse if they use him primarily as a rush. If his snaps are low and he isnt playing run downs he could have a lot of gas when we rushes

My guess is Gregory, if Hardy's suspension holds up even close to 10 games.

Actually a very good question. So much in flux, so many questions. I don't think Gregory will be on the field enough to lead, and Hardy will be suspended some amount of games even if it's not 10, so that really leaves our hopes in Lawrence picking up where he left off.

Consider the upward marker for Gregory and Lawrence alone....now, add in Hardy at any point and consider that rotational value.

I think Lawrence. He came on late last season after getting healthy and was probably the best PR the Cowboys had in the postseason. I think he grabs a starting DE and never relinquishes it. Mincey will become rotational and I think he will be ok with that at this stage of his career. Lawrence gets 10-14 sacks.

Gregory is the joker in this deck. Better than Bruce Irvin by leaps and bounds. He's a pure QB hunter, but his size at this time will limit his effectiveness and snaps.

Crawford will be Crawford. Plus player vs both run and pass, but really not a double digit guy - yet.

I think the addition of Gregory puts the Cowboys ahead of the Hardy contract should he decide to leave for greener pastures next season.

However you look at it this PR is truly formidable.
