Report: Cowboys franchise tag Lawrence for second time. MORE:
Texans place franchise tag on Clowneyfor the second consecutive year.
The decision means Lawrence has a one-year offer for $20.5 million while the sides keep working on a long-term contract. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the decision hasn't been announced. Lawrence signed a one-year deal worth $17.1 million the same day the Cowboys tagged him last year, but doesn't appear to have the same eagerness to sign this time.
Last year's tag came after Lawrence set a career high with 14 1/2 sacks in 2017, and he seemed happy to try to prove his season wasn't a fluke. After another Pro Bowl year and double-digit sacks with 10 1/2, Lawrence has indicated he now expects a long-term deal. Even if Lawrence signs the contract, he has until July 15 to work out a long-term deal with Dallas. But if he doesn't sign the one-year tender under the franchise tag, Lawrence can skip off-season workouts without being fined.missed the entire 2018 season with Pittsburgh after refusing to sign under the franchise tag.
