Signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys in October of 2024.
Notches 5.0 sacks in 2024
Lawson finished the 2024 season with 15 tackles (seven solo), including 5.0 sacks, 15 QB hits and one forced fumble across 15 games.
ANALYSIS
Lawson started just three games this past season for Dallas, operating as a sub-package edge rusher behind Micah Parsons and Chauncey Golston. It was a nice bounce-back season for the 29-year-old after he dealt with a torn Achilles tendon and a back issue in his time with the Jets from 2021-23. Lawson failed to record a single sack across six games for New York in 2023 and didn't sign with Dallas until August of 2024 after Sam Williams tore his ACL. Lawson is scheduled to head back to free agency in March.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Lawson posted seven sacks in 2022 after missing the entire 2021 campaign due to a torn Achilles. The 28-year-old defensive end is optimistic that he can hit double-digit sacks for the first time in 2023, and he's well positioned to do so as the top edge rusher in a Jets defense that has Quinnen Williams generating interior pressure, as well as the cornerback duo of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed taking away passing lanes. Lawson will have competition for playing time from 2022 and 2023 first-round picks Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald, as well as the versatile John Franklin-Myers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linking up with Cowboys
Lawson is signing with the Cowboys on Thursday, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cowboys have been busy fortifying their defensive line this week, also having traded for the Giants' Jordan Phillips on Wednesday. Lawson had worked out for the Cowboys earlier in training camp, and he comes to Dallas off a particularly disappointing 2023 season with the Jets where he was a healthy scratch for 11 games.
