The Cowboys have made another addition to their defensive line by signing former Jets defensive end Carl Lawson, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The 29-year-old Lawson had been trumpeted as a major addition for the Jets in 2021, when he signed a three-year, $45 million contract in free agency, but he fell short of expectations and wound up playing only 23 games in three seasons.. The injury required additional surgery a few months later, but Lawson made it back for 2022 and played the entire season, finishing with seven sacks.
The 2023 campaign was a washout. Lawson missed most of the preseason due to a back injury and lost his starting job to second-year defensive end. By the time he was healthy enough to play, Lawson had been removed from the defensive line rotation, reducing him to spot duty and causing frustration. He was a healthy scratch for 11 games and declined media requests late in the season."I'm a football player, not a cheerleader," he said at midseason. Lawson appeared in only six games, played just 101 snaps and recorded zero sacks and five tackles., but he struggled to stay on the field. He missed 13 out of 64 games, mainly in 2018, when he underwent knee surgery.
