Multiple media outlets reported the deal is worth $105 million, with $65 million guaranteed and more money in the first year than any non-quarterback contract in NFL history, breaking the mark set by Khalil Mack last fall. Earlier Friday, NFL Network reported Lawrence and the Cowboys were making progress after negotiations appeared to be stalled last week.
The Cowboys tagged Lawrence in March for the second year in a row, giving them until July 15 to sign him to a long-term extension. Lawrence played the 2018 season on his $17.1 million tender, and he could have made $20.5 million on the tag in 2019, but reports had indicated he was unlikely to participate in training camp if he didn’t receive a long-term extension.
