Carl Lawson News
New York Jets defensive end Carl Lawson (Achilles) will miss the entire 2021 regular season. The veteran pass rusher suffered a ruptured Achilles during practice on Thursday. This is a tough blow especially after the team signed Lawson to a three-year deal worth $45 million this past offseason. The 26-year-old was going to be a key part to the Jets defense, so his absence is a significant blow to the team. Bryce Huff replaced Lawson in practice, but Sheldon Rankins and John Franklin-Myers should be in the mix as well. On paper, this defense is towards the bottom in the league and can be avoided in most fantasy formats.
The New York Jets agreed to a three-year, $45 million deal with former Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carl Lawson on Monday. The deal includes $30 million guaranteed. His $15 million-per-year average makes him the highest-paid player on the team. Lawson should bolster a pass-rushing unit that is planning to use a 4-3 front for the first time since 2005. Since 2015, the Jets have ranked 26th in the league in sacks. New York plans to use Lawson in tandem with rising star Quinnen Williams. The 25-year-old Lawson was one of the most disruptive pass-rushers in the league in 2020. He tallied 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles, but he was constantly disrupting opposing backfields. Lawson created 10.5 sacks, which ranked seventh in the NFL, and he also ranked 14th in pass-rush win rate.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carl Lawson (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 against the Buccaneers and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. Lawson came into this Sunday with only six tackles and one sack in seven games, but it's nevertheless a blow to Cincy's defensive line and their struggling defense.
