He's a nice player, and all (I'da loved to have him on those 2012 - 2015 teams), but he's not a top 5 DE, edge, 3-4 OLB... Whatever you wanna label the tweener.
Casuals don't appreciate hurries, but sacks DO matter. They're obviously more impactful than a hurry. All things considered (injury history, sack production, etc) I'd pass on Lawson at that price or even close to it.
We were awful in sacks last year, and ranked 22nd in passer rating allowed, so how impactful were those hurries, really? We can improve on those totals without Lawson. Honestly, there's nowhere to go but up, really...and that money would be better spent elsewhere.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
