Shaq Lawson released

[Joe Mama]

Doubt anyone would claim because they pick up contract; sign for min for playoffs and chance to make team next year.

He had a nice final year with the Bills. What went wrong since?

Someone decided he was a starter worth 10M.  

 

He's a great 3-4M dollar rotation guy.  Not a starter and certainly not worth 10M

[HOUSE]

I wish him well...👍

 

 

[NewEra]

I predict that he’ll sign with the team that we play in the first round of the playoffs

I would sign him to set the edge and for run D. We really seem to struggle with that this year.

who do you cut or Bench? We have a boatload of DE’s.

Do you remember all the other years he had with the Bills that weren't contract years?

[Chandler#81]

An I-Me-Mine guy who never realized his potential nor rated his Draft status. This comes as no surprise -even if it is the Jests.

If the Bills want him for the playoffs, he has to clear waivers first.

 

 

Hard to imagine Shaq would not clear waivers…

USFL bound

If you claim him he can't play till next season.

We still have some needs at DE with some holes to fill. He had production with this staff. I’m actually strongly in favor of bringing him in next season for vet minimum. 

[dpberr]

He was a baffling pick by the Bills. The Bills selected him way too high in the draft and then asked him to do something he didn't show skill at while at Clemson - getting to/sacking the QB. The shoulder was a problem at Clemson too...and well, it remained a problem. 

 

He did not project to DE or LB nicely but probably could have developed as a linebacker if that was the intention from draft day.

Sign to practice squad, activate as needed. Obada is down this week, don't know how long.

Agreed.
 

Being a specialist in setting the edge is also not really a thing. 

[Mr. WEO]

he was a legendary starter, day 1, right off the bus......

Quote

Because Lawson is being jettisoned after the trade deadline, he will head to waivers.

 

Should Lawson be claimed, he will not be eligible to play in the playoffs. If no team claims him, however, the sixth-year pass rusher could still play for another team in the postseason as a free agent signing.

 

If he is claimed it is post trade deadline and if he has passed COVID test however I doubt he will be.

He’s played for 4 teams in the last 3 seasons.

I would take them back at the right price
