And when comparing to what the top elite guys at CB and pass rushing make, $10-12 mill APY for Lawson and $12-14 mill APY for WJ3 would be a good deal.
Jalen Ramsey, who is having about the same year as WJ3 both in the run game and coverage according to PFF, has an APY of $20 mill.
Elite edge rushers are making $15+ mill a year.
I'd take the "bargain" of WJ3 and Lawson.
I put them into the "good" price range and not the "elite". WJ3 and Ramsey might be having similar years this year but Ramsey has a career full of elite play and WJ3 has been more up and down. Carl Lawson still is only getting pressure but not creating negative plays.
Both of these guys have been very good but not elite through their Careers. I just seen quite a few people saying 6 to 8m for WJ and 8 to 10m for Carl Lawson and thought that was cracked.
