Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is set to have surgery on his injured shoulder on Wednesday, reports The MMQB's Albert Breer.
Lawrence has played each of the last two seasons with a torn labrum and wanted to make sure they he secured a long-term deal before having surgery.
According to the report, Dallas wanted Lawrence to have the shoulder surgery, which will be performed by the Cowboys team doctor, and became a point in negotiations for a new contract.
Last month, the Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Lawrence for the second straight year, but Lawrence had no intention of signing it.
