Cowboys Rumors: Demarcus Lawrence Offered $20M Per Year, DL Wants More

The Dallas Cowboys have made Demarcus Lawrence an offer that would make him the highest-paid defensive end in football.

It hasn't been enough to move the needle.

Calvin Watkins of The Athletic reported the Cowboys' current offer on the table would pay him $20 million per season over six years. Lawrence, who initially requested $20 million annually in long-term talks, has moved his price point to $22.5 million per season.

"Right now, the best way to describe it is we're at an impasse," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said.
