So I was reading this article;

2021 NFL roster bubble: Notable players who could be traded or cut

www.nfl.com

A familiar name was on it, Shaq Lawson! You guys think he's not going to play a regular season down like Rosenthall is predicting? If so would we want him back?

I thought he was balling for us and would like to see him back here but for less than the 10M per year we were giving him...
 
No, I do not think we would re-obtain Shaq Lawson.

He was a good signing for us; he temporarily filled a position of need, and then was trade bait for us to bring in a more targeted player... but now, it is a numbers game. In order to bring him in (on a one year, prove it contract), we'd have to axe our last lineman, and a developing young lineman probably has more long term value than a one year rental.

He was a ghost at the end of the year. His play was equivalent to Charles Harris. A lot of positive talk and trying on the field but no production.

Horrible take. Shaq Lawson did more in 1 year with us than Charles Harris did in all of his career with us. He would be a great depth signing for a slightly more modest contract.

Thats more of what I was thinking as well, Shaq didn't want to get traded by all accounts as he seemed to be happy here. I would welcome the guy back at a much reduced salary. Leave it to Grier to find a way to make Houston pay for a chunk of his salary...

That’s going a little far lol. At least Shaq was always solid in setting the edge and would get some push every now and then.

But yah, definitely an overpay, no tears shed for him being gone.

The issue is if they claimed him on waivers, they would have to pay him based on his present contract and they traded him because they thought he was not worth the money. If he does clear waivers, I don’t know if he would have an interest in returning to the team that just traded him away.

The Dolphins seem set at the LB position and even though he was a decent player for them last year, I doubt they would be interested in signing him if he does become available.
 
I think our existing LBrs are good enough that we will not add a LBr.
I think, if we add anyone, it will be OL, DL, or RB.
 
I would still like to add a rb. I would likely keep Gaskin, Brown Ahmad and a 4th back from another team. I might consider just rolling with 3 rbs on the 53 man roster and have Doaks and another option on the ps where I could activate one or the other if needed. I'm sure they've looked at the numbers, but I wonder how many snaps per season does a 4th rb usually get and talent wise would they be that much better than the backs you can pick up on the open market mid season if needed?

That is 100% true!

But it's not saying much!

I still remember Harris doing his "spin move" 3 yards off the LOS - all by himself!
