Would you bring DLaw back after this season?

He will have one more non-guaranteed year left on his deal. We can save $10M with a post-June 1 release or trade.
Tough call for me coz there's a ton of dirty work he cleans up that you won't find on the stat sheet.

not sure why anyone would attempt to ask or answer this question with a whole season worth of data to come.

You really can't ask this question until you see what kind of year he has. The perception of many is that he has a lot of help on the line now. So if that pans out and he performs well, why not try for a new deal with a low number of years if he's willing? He's shown that he knows he's not a $20M a year guy so he's not unreasonable with money despite people being mad he got paid before.

Absolute turd of a player. Cares only about money. Should have been showing the door years ago. Dude is a Hotboyz through and through.

After losing one player called DeMarcus, the Cowboys quickly gained another with Lawrence. His first year was cut short when he broke a bone in his foot but played in the back half of the season. In the Wild Card Round that year the world caught an inclination of his ability when he caused two sack-fumbles against Matt Stafford which sealed and closed the game.

Some critics will point to Lawrence’s lack of sacks, but every year he ranks right at the top in run-stopping grade and his run-stopping skills are seen on the field. Last year, Lawrence played in Dan Quinn’s heavy rotational defensive line and his production was impressive. A leaner and lighter Lawrence in 2022 helped relieve his injuries he’s collected over the years, and he was a rejuvenated player that looked more like the Tank everyone saw when he came into the league.

2023 Roster Projection:
Taking a team-friendly deal shows how much Lawrence wants to play at Dallas. He’s known for his leadership and tutoring, which the younger guys really respond to, which is something that can’t be calculated by statistics. To have a player come in and spend an entire career for one team is impressive, and it’s even more impressive at the defensive end position. As he gets older, Tank will be rotated in and out more in the hopes of preserving his energy and health. Tank will continue to be a main contributor for this stellar Cowboys defensive line and based on how the coaches talk about him, this will be the case to the end of his career.

Up front question to you...

Know what that's for?

YES

I would absolutely love to bring him back, but there will be much to consider after this season. He's one of the best run defenders in the league and has held the fort as leader for that defensive line for many years. I have a ton of respect for him as a player and want to see him retire as a lifelong Cowboy.

How many years does he have left at his current level of play? If Sam Williams or another youngster makes a strong case to replace him, how much sense would it make economically to keep him around? How much will the defense suffer if he's let go?

As it stands, I'd lean towards keeping him around, but it's impossible to answer that question at the moment.
