Carl Lawson is this current New York Jets regime’s first free-agent prize.
Signed as a free agent in the 2021 NFL offseason, the Auburn product came to Florham Park, NJ with high expectations. Though his sack total never surpassed 8.5 in any of his four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, Lawson’s advanced metrics featured a glowing story.
Consistency in pushing the offensive line back and creating pressures helped Carl Lawson sign a lucrative three-year deal with up to $47.4 million (with $30 million guaranteed).
As luck would have it, Lawson missed the entire 2021 season with a torn achilles. Jets fans sang the blues while realizing another year would pass before their team could potentially enjoy a legit edge rusher.
Lawson returned in 2022 to the tune of seven sacks and 24 quarterback hits, and he enters 2023 with plenty of talent around him along that talented defensive line.
