Carlos Dunlap got paid $13.5 mill APY and only hit double-digit sacks one season in his entire career.
So yes, Lawson is going to get paid rather well from some team who believes he'll turn all those pressures into more sacks.

Carlos Dunlap also hovered around 8-9 sacks a year when he wasn't getting 10 plus though. Not to mention at his peak he'd tip passes, get interceptions, force fumbles, disrupt, and even found his way into the end zone a few times.
