2 sacks, 5 tackles - the big man was a beast today
Made me wonder

If we can keep him and Leonard Williams or we will have to choose one or the other.

Probably one or the other.
He was a beast today

I don’t know how you can keep both but I’d rather have him. Younger, figuring it out. Seems like he’s going to be a stud for a while. He dominated the LOS today.
Dex was a monster today

I really hope we can keep Dex and Williams to pair with Thibs and Olujari.
We can keep both  
Payasdaddy : 10/2/2022 5:34 pm : link
At least for 2023
Cap room looks solid with room to sign a few mid level FA and keep our own
Depends on jones situation
He hasn’t played bad but doesn’t warrant franchise or extension
Qb hell

Dex has played very well, even outside of today. He consistently draws double teams and gets penetration while clogging the run.
Friendly reminder

Go look at teams like the rams who have highly paid star power all over the defense. And at qb. And wr. And along the OL.

You keep the great players and let the average ones go if needed.
Plenty of time

to see the plan for long term. He has been really good. They needed him today with the injuries. He delivered.

Giants have Lawrence under team control through 2023. There’s no reason to think about his contract right now.

The really impressive thing is he’s been at or above 75% of the defensive snaps since Williams went down, and he’s looked better with more burn.

He’s got a really impress motor and chase for a guy his size. He’s a remarkably nimble DT.
Finally Dex is being played at his best position

He should be resigned.

The reason you think about extending him now, or more likely at the end of the season given our cap situation, is that the price to do so will just increase if he keeps playing this well.

Bingo
Love how even vet players get totally re-evaluated each week here

Last week was the “Dexter Lawrence is a bust” thread
How is the Bears OL?  
bradshaw44 : 10/2/2022 6:45 pm : link
Dex was getting crushed last week for being useless by most of BBI. If he can’t produce against top talent then do we really want to pay big money? Or is the Bears OL good?
just a BEAST...  
thrunthrublue : 10/2/2022 8:52 pm : link
...from the EAST. A lunchpail, hard hat interior lineman with gifts. Get him some linebackers and safeties......and he could be a 2023 Leonard Marshall contributor.
Lawrence had himself a game  
OlyWABigBlue : 10/2/2022 9:00 pm : link
and without doubt, he was doubled or at least game planned for relative to the other DL mates. He hasn't had a bad game yet but today he was really good. Sometimes people get enamored with the flashy plays rather than the trench play that makes everyone else better. Also, I don't think we have to worry about losing Dex until after 2023 - that 5th year thing.
Had a helleuva game
