He's totally right. Carl Lawson is an 8-10 mil type of player right now. Maybe someone overpays him by a mil or two and gets upwards of around 12. Regardless, it's not a wise move for a team like the Bengals to pony up money beyond reason (10 mil) with as many holes as we have.
Sacks are not a stat indicative of skill. They are a stat that encompasses many other factors hence why teams have shifted to win rate and other advanced metrics.
