And again, that was PFF's Top 50, and they're the biggest name analytics site out there.
Again, sacks are often uncontrollable to an extent. Maxx Crosby had a bunch of sacks last season but people quickly pointed to the fact all but two of his sacks guys basically just ran into him, he didn't "win" any matchups. I am not making it up, teams look at pressures Lawson has a ton of them and so he will get paid.
While I appreciate PFF, they have Clowney as the 16th player on their FA list. The league has told us what they think about Clowney as Houston didn't want to pay him, Seattle didn't want to pay him, No one in FA wanted to commit to him and now Tennessee doesn't appear to want to pay him. Scroll a little further and Jameis Winston at 18 kind of puts the nail in the coffin for me on this list. You have a guy who again, no one wanted to pay last year in FA, who wasn't even the 2nd on the Saints depth chart being the 18th best FA? Also, Ryan Fitzpatrick at 22? lol.
If you need to see how bad this list really is, check out their number 15 FA Cam Newton...who they predict the Bengals sign to a 1 year 20 million dollar contract. Doesn't seem like the guy making this list really is connected to any sort of FA realities if you read through a lot of their predicitons.
