The Dallas Cowboys and Demarcus Lawrence agreed to a five-year contract extension worth $105 million Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The deal includes $65 million guaranteed.
Garafolo added that Lawrence will receive the most money ever for a defensive player in the first year of his deal, surpassing the $31 million the Chicago Bears paid to Khalil Mack in 2018.
Dallas had previously placed the franchise tag on the defensive end, which would have paid him $20.5 million for 2019, per Clarence Hill Jr.
