DE DeMarcus Lawrence gets $105 million deal from Cowboys

FRISCO, Texas - Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence finally got the bag he has been wanting for the last two years.

And the Cowboys got their war daddy pass rusher locked up for five years. More importantly, he will be signed in time for him to have surgery on his torn labrum so he can be ready to go in 2019 when he will get an NFL record for money in cash for a non-quarterback.

All totaled, Friday was a historic day for Lawrence and the Cowboys, who agreed on a five-year, $105 million contract extension, per sources.

Lawrence, 27, will get $31.1 million in 2019. He will get $48 million and $65 million over the first three years of the deal.

Scary to think of the contract Cam Jordan will be due.

OP: Interesting info; thanks for posting.

Too many Benjamins for previously damaged goods, IMO. Time will tell.

I'm going to keep a tab on how Davenport's production this coming season will compare with him. Not saying that MD will outperform him, but just to see how comparable it will be.

WhoDat!!!!!

Dont get me wrong hes a great player but you may have a year or two window of winning with that kind of cap hit. You cant consistently win and field out a competitive team with a non qb making that kind of money

Anyone still complaining about the Davenport trade? There is only 2 type of $100 million dollar position. That's QB and pass rushers.

That's gonna change with Ramsey and Lattimore deals that will likely be 6 year 110 type deals

Didn't he have surgery and will miss the preseason?

That deal feels like a deal you pay to an Ironman-type player. A guy who has, and will, take every snap available to him. Spending the kingdom's treasury on a fella that needs surgery seems foolish, surgery sometimes have long lasting and negative lingering effects. Did LeCharles Bentley ever fully recover from his knee surgery??

We have Cam Jordan on a steal of a deal. Seriously, it’s like we are paying him by the hour.

Saw a Dallas report (Mike Fisher) on yesterday stating it's 4-6 month recovery/rehab. Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.

So yeah, he'll likely miss pre season activities.

I hope we win it all this year. We will have to cut ties with Brees for salary concerns alone. Some good players are going to walk.

Cant believe they did this BEFORE his surgery. Sure seems like a smart GM would have waited, but who am I to argue. I'll just be happy if I can tease all my cowboy fanatic neighbors and friends about how stupid their "GM" is.

Well, the cowboys owner is the real GM. So regardless if this works out for them or not, there won't be any repercussions.

That's why i was looking forward to calling their"GM" an idiot to my friends. ( And I'll do it in my best Jerrah voice.)

In Bently's case, I believe the issue was infections (maybe MRSA?) from the surgery. And when Cleveland acquired him, he was healthy.
