Not much has emerged about Shaq Lawson‘s market, but with many would-be free agent edge rushers being franchise-tagged, the longtime Bills defender should see interest pick up.
One of the Bills’ top rivals is in the mix for Lawson, with Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reporting the Dolphins are interested in the former first-round pick (Twitter link).
This year’s market has seen Shaquil Barrett, Matt Judon, Yannick Ngakoue and Bud Dupree removed from free agent consideration because of the tag. The Bills did not pick up Lawson’s fifth-year option last year, but the Clemson alum posted a career-high 6.5 sacks with 18 QB hits.
The Dolphins lead the NFL in cap space, with more than $80MM, and have needs at most spots on their roster. The team does return Taco Charlton and still has fellow 2017 first-round edge Charles Harris under contract.
longtime? he’s been there four years.
