I don’t think Hubbard is as good as a pass rusher as Lawson but he can rush and he plays the run and can play all 3 downs. With the additions on defense hopefully we can stop the run early and get into more 2nd and long third downs were Lawson can get more snaps. With Dunlap going into his 11th season at some point in the future we probably need to address DE. I think Hubbard will be here long term going forward we will see what happens with Lawson. We won’t be able to pay everybody but my preference would be that Hubbard and Bates get paid before Lawson. Plus we’ll see what happens with Jackson III then on top of that they’ll probably extend Mixon.
That is just it. Unless Lawson gets more versatile you cannot pay him big no matter how good of a pass rusher he is.
Plus we all know he hasn't been able to stay healthy which is the biggest reason you cannot pay him big.
