Even though Demarcus Lawrence recently secured a long-term deal with the Dallas Cowboys, the two-time Pro Bowler never gave any consideration to sitting out if he had to play on a franchise tag in 2019.
Per Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News, Lawrence emphasized that he wasn't going to sacrifice a huge payday to make a statement.
"You ain't got to worry about that," he said. "It wasn't going to be a Le'Veon [Bell] situation. I ain't skipping $20 million for nobody."
Bell famously sat out last season rather than sign the one-year franchise tender worth $14.
