It's hard to estimate due to the declining cap for next year, but I think some team may offer him $10+ mill a year.
I also expect WJ3 will get offered $10+ mill a year.
Will the Bengals be willing to put that much into those two players?
I would, but I'd probably look to backload it some so that the 2021 cap hit is lower.
No doubt. Remember, Lawson was playing very well early last year, iirc, when the Bengals showed some semblance of Dunlop on the other side of him before Carlos disappeared. Don't care who you are not named Garrett that if you don't have another pass-rusher to go along with Lawson then opponents can easily scheme. Had Lawson not had a couple off-sides penalties the past couple weeks hardly anyone would be dissing him.
