Over the past few weeks, we’ve been hearing that the Dallas Cowboys and star defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence were going to be able to work out a new long-term deal. Well, that time has come and gone, now we are learning that both sides have dug in for the foreseeable future. So how did we get to this point?
The sticking point is likely the amount of guaranteed money Lawrence wants. He appears to want to be paid like Los Angeles Rams All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Donald signed a six-year, $135 million extension last August that included $87 million guaranteed.
