I hope Lawson does not get tagged, or at least doesn't play on the tag. Tags are too expensive, and the Bengals usually use them on players who should not have been tagged. The Tag for DE is $17 mill. If the Bengals have Lawson make that much, it might limit what other player(s) they could get in FA. Hopefully, the tag would be a temporary thing while they work out a long-term (3-4 year) deal that's less APY.

He did and he proved very little, granted he was injured a third of the season and had Kung Flu.

The tag amount for a defensive end in 2021 is close to 20 million dollars. 

I don't want him tagged either, I want an extension. But regardless, my point was the D-Line is less of a priority than the O-Line. 

Even if they lose Lawson and Daniels in FA, our D-Line is still better than our O-Line. Reader and Hubbard alone are twice as good as any of our front six. Perhaps Jonah will be up there, but he's yet to prove it, which is understandable since he was basically a rookie last season.

Our top needs on offense are line and tight end. Our tops needs on defense are line and backers equally, then corners.
