Are they saying that Lawson created all 17 of the sacks? There's 13 teams with 40+ sacks. Just seems really improbable that Lawson was responsible for "creating" top-10 sacks.
Regardless of what the extension is, you still have the player for $14m less in Year 1. That's $14m out of the Ravens current $29m in cap space.
They are saying his initial pressure forced sacks for other players. It isn't really that big of a surprise Lawson was the only defender that forced consistent QB pressure on the team.
