I am always leary of that type of one year wonder, but Lawson wasn't always given the opportunity to prove himself on non-passing downs before this year, either.  I hope they are able to sign him and he is a part of the team that ascends to new heights.

I look at him very similar to the Preston Smith/Za Darius Smith contracts GB gave out a couple of years ago. That is why I was figuring something like 4 years and 13/14 per.
