If he was never going to get to a long term deal with us I tag and trade him to one of the endless teams lining up to get a pass rusher. The market for rushers won’t be nearly as depressed as the rest of the market from what I’ve read.

Yup.  I am off the same view as well.  I have a feeling Lawson will have a double digit sack season this year,  especially if the O line is fixed to be able to give JB time to put up points,  because then the defense can get more opportunities to rush the opposition's QB. It's a good risk to take,  and if it doesn't pan out,  we let him walk next year (or trade him now if the trade compensation is very good).
