I would say though that DeMarcus Lawrence is the stand out edge rusher this off season, He's the guy going to get 18-20m AAV for sure
He has the first season on the tag so a 2nd season on the tag starts at $20 million; that leverage will stand tall in negotiations so he'll get a little higher offer because his agent knows that the 'boys will still almost certainly tag him if they have to. They are a defense and running team - they can't let him go.
