We were awful in sacks last year, and ranked 22nd in passer rating allowed, so how impactful were those hurries, really? We can improve on those totals without Lawson. Honestly, there's nowhere to go but up, really...and that money would be better spent elsewhere.

I really have to disagree. If Lawson is let go, it will be a mistake. Without Lawson, this is the current projected starting lineup...

Khalid Kareem - 254 snaps, four total pressures.

Geno Atkins - 119 snaps, one total pressure
DJ Reader - 259 snaps, one total pressure
Sam Hubbard - 664 snaps, 18 total pressures



Carl Lawson, alone, had 723 snaps and 44 total pressures. The ENTIRE FRONT SEVEN, outside of Lawson, had 50 total pressures. I'm talking backups as well. That is a total of 12 different players being counted, and Lawson only had six less pressures than those guys, while playing less than 70% of the snaps. He was 5th in the league in total pressures, and sacks follow pressures. If this team can get any other pass rushers to help Lawson, his sack numbers will greatly inflate.
