Paying a slight premium to ensure he can stay healthy two years in a row is worth it rather than committing to a long-term deal where he is constantly hurt. The other piece here is not necessarily saddling a potential new head coach next year, if that ends up happening, with a potentially bad contract.
15-16 per would make Lawson a top 4 DE on average salary, according to Spotrac.
Absolutely no way does a team offer that for a guy with 11.5 sacks in the last 3 years and an injury history.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
