Cowboys owner Jerry Jones compares contract negotiations with DE DeMarcus Lawrence to Emmitt Smith in 1993 By
Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence finally got the bag he has been wanting for the last two years.
And the Cowboys got their war daddy pass rusher locked up for five years. More importantly, he will be signed in time for him to have surgery on his torn labrum so he can be ready to go in 2019 when he will get an NFL record for money in cash for a non-quarterback.
All totaled, Friday was a historic day for Lawrence and the Cowboys, who agreed on a five-year, $105 million contract extension, per sources.
