Because they don't want to overpay Lawson, or invest 30 million dollars in 2021 cap space into CB1 and CB2?
You can use that money elsewhere. Hell, you could get two really good veterans (say a DE and a DT or a LB) for the price of Lawson's tag. Who is to say that doesn't do more to help the defense than paying Lawson almost double his actual worth?
Who are these two "really good veterans" you are getting for a combined 17.75? With Lawson gone you need two ends now too as Hubbard isn't really giving you anything as a pass rusher, so can you find two pass rushers for 17.75? Are either under 30 or are we going with big names who used to be good?
