The Dallas Cowboys recently signed the leader of their defense to a long term contract. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence agreed to terms with the Cowboys on a five-year, $105 million deal in recent weeks, bolstering their defense for years to come.
Lawrence was drafted 34th overall by the Cowboys in the 2014 NFL Draft. Although he had a slow start to his career, racking up only nine sacks and three forced fumbles total in his first three seasons, Lawrence has improved drastically since. In the past two seasons combined, he has produced 24.5 sacks and six forced fumbles, earning him Pro Bowl appearances in both seasons.
