Jay Skurski’s Bills Mailbag: Does Shaq Lawson have a future in Buffalo?
‘The other obvious issue is production. Shoulder surgery limited Lawson to just 10 games as a rookie, including one start. He finished with 13 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble.

In those 11 games, 10 of which he started, Lawson finished with 33 tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble. The one game Lawson didn’t start came against Kansas City, and the decision appeared to be disciplinary in nature. McDermott said after that game that he was keeping the reason private.’

Even then, he’s likely to be safe based on how well he performed in 2017 — and will be given the benefit of the doubt to get it turned around. He’s as steady a player on the roster as you’ll find, which is why he deserved a spot on this countdown.’
