As a much much cheaper replacement for Lawson. I am not expecting the guy to be a Pro Bowler, but I am also expecting absolutely nothing from the Anarumo-led defense, so he'd basically be a placeholder until 2022 when they can afford the draft picks/FA $ to address it properly. This offseason's priority need to be OL, OL, and OL.

Also...

2020
Van Noy: 6.0 sacks
Lawson: 5.5 sacks

2019
Van Noy: 6.5 sacks
Lawson: 5.5 sacks

I know there's some people who salivate over Lawson's QB hits, but at the end of the day it's not like Lawson is finishing plays. I think if Van Noy prepared this offseason/preseason to be a DE, he could probably add another 5+ pounds. He's only 15 pounds lighter than Lawson and Hubbard. He's also someone who can reliably play over 75% of the defensive snaps.

I'd take him for 2yr/$10-12m.
