If we are gonna pay this guy to be our premier pass rusher we will continue to have the same results. Really like the guy. But I’m not on board with paying him stupid money for a 5.5 sack year like he had this year. Hell and that was a full 16 games which to this point you only have a 50% chance of getting from him.He was 7th this past season in pressures and lead the NFL in QB Hits with 32 and QB Knockdowns with 23. The guy is going to get paid if healthy he is a 100% worth it.
I know the sack stat isn’t everything. But it’s one people really care about for a reason. I’m not saying Lawson is a bum. But man. Contract year full time starter full 16 games and seeing that 5.5 makes me more willing to test the waters and see what else is out there
