Doc Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 My son just said that if they were to sign him, he can't play this post-season. Is that true? And if so, no reason to sign him then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was claimed, he couldnt play Think of Freeman last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so, no reason to sign him then. Upthread, some folks are saying if you wait till a player clears waivers, you can sign them and they are eligible for playoffs. No idea if true or not.

Bradham was actually pretty good for awhile. I think he got himself into some legal issues off the field. He was still quite a hitter for the Eagles.

FilthyBeast Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I still think this seems out of character for this regime. Lawson doesn't fill any needs and there are still questions about why he has bounced around so much in the last few years since leaving Buffalo. And if this team ends up being one and done it's almost pointless to bringing him here for just less than a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the answer is yes. So welcome back, Shaq! (Maybe) I'm honestly not sure if he's any better than what we have unless you are simply focusing on his run defense. Either way it's not like you can just plug him back into the lineup and expect to get the same guy from the 2019 team from the first snap he plays.

The Frankish Reich Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Here's the PFF take on him when he was traded to the Jets last offseason. Bottom line: nothing exciting, but a solid upgrade. (PFF numbers this year are the worst of his career, however): Lawson a proven pass-rusher: Lawson has settled into being a consistent force as an edge rusher over the past few seasons, averaging 38.5 total pressures for two different teams within the AFC East since 2019. Lawson no slouch in run defense, either: The best PFF grades of Lawson's career have come as a run defender, headlined by an 81.1 mark in 2018 for the Buffalo Bills. Jets' pass-rush struggles are clear: No edge-rushing unit in the league has graded out worse than the Jets' (62.4) since 2017. New York also ranks 32nd league-wide in pressure rate from the edge (16.9%) over that same period. With Carl Lawson lost already due to injury, the Jets simply had to find a source of edge pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, apart from the thing we primarily suck at going into the playoffs with quite a few teams that really like to do that thing including this week's opponent, yeah I guess you're correct. Also, he's a defensive end, it's not really that complex a job. I'm quite sure he can line up at DE or DT on pass downs and remember what to do. He brings something to the table that the other ends don't, he was super popular in the locker room, he is a guy to bring some juice when the team is flat, and he will be dirt, dirt cheap to sign through the end of the season. Oh and if he plays well and the Bills want to keep him they will likely have at least one vacancy at his position and he will be highly affordable once again. What exactly is the problem here? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. This is the kind of thing really good teams do - find value in some guy out there for the taking. If you'd asked "is defensive end a position of need right now" everyone would've said no, it's way down the list. But getting just a little bit better, just a little bit deeper anywhere on the football field can make a difference - sometimes just enough of a difference to win a playoff game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's probably trying to see if someone else will give him more than a PS deal.........14 playoff teams.......might be a couple that will give him a real roster spot. I was a little surprised that there weren't more veteran cuts in the last two weeks. Figured that would become more of a trend with non-playoff teams with veterans who aren't in their team's plans but also aren't pending UFA's who contribute to comp pick formula. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they are planning for a better scenario.
