Count Dallas Cowboys great Ed “Too Tall” Jones among those who feel DeMarcus Lawrence deserves a lucrative long-term deal whether it’s from the Cowboys or another team.
Lawrence, 26, is playing next season under the franchise tag that will pay him $17.143 million, and would like to “break the bank” when he hits free agency again next offseason.
“Whatever DeMarcus Lawrence gets, he deserves,” said Jones, attending a promotional event at Texas Motor Speedway on Thursday.
“I’ve had a chance to visit with him several times, I’ve had a chance to do some football camps with him, he’s good with kids, and I see why he’s the player he is.
