Okwara currently has a market value of 10.1 mil per according to spotrac:  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/detroit-lions/romeo-okwara-19531/market-value/

If we can come to a reasonable agreement with Lawson then great.  If not, they are other options available in free agency.

Here's some other examples with market values set by spotrac:

Trey Hendrickson - 10.3 mil https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/trey-hendrickson-21845/market-value/

Justin Houston - 11.5 mil https://overthecap.com/player/justin-houston/517/

Jadeveon Clowney - 6.5 mil https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/jadeveon-clowney-14410/market-value/

Oliver Vernon is another name, which I can't find a valuation on.  But he's an above average defensive end, who will be coming on a discount because of an achilies injury (same injury as Uzomah)

Fwiw, there's load more guys, and this is before any cuts.  Who knows what the market will look like next week.

PS Okwara, Hendrickson, Houston and Veronon all come from base 4-3 systems, with Clowney being the exception (He's just a physical freak that you could take a chance on to fit here)
