He seemed ok showed some composure he played hurt a game or two.

Is he a full time starter tho? 4 sacks on a pretty talented Dline opposite of Ogbah.

I would personally want him as a #3 DE I am not sure he's earning that starter money. I am sure he will be back this coming year due that dead cap but I think we need another pass rusher for sure.
 
I thought he played okay last year but he was nothing special. Hopefully the Dolphins will find an upgrade in the next few years for his position but right now they need to concentrate more on building the offense and he will suffice until they can go back to drafting for defense.

I'll agree with that except"the next few year." To me pass rush is 2nd only to WR. QBs having 3-5 seconds hurt the D a LOT
 
Okay against the run but doesn't offer anything significant in pass rush. I'd say an upgrade is imminent, probably via free agency due to the lackluster draft class.
 
20 million was guaranteed on this contract.....he isn't going anywhere for at least another year.
 
Hated the signing. Gave me more than I expected sets tbe edge well vs tbe run better all around than I gave him credit for. Takes advantage of depth tackle play as a pass rusher. Or at least did this year

can gain the shoulder against a bad tackle
 
Solid pickup, had his moments...

Liked that Zaven Collins. Looks like a good gamble at linebacker.
 
Shaq Lawson is decent / serviceable starter. Shaq Lawson however suffers from what most of our defensive front 7 suffers from: an inability to consistently defeat a one on one block and get to the QB. Most of the Dolphin pressures and sacks were really the result of scheme, whereby a rusher would get to the QB unblocked. We absolutely need players that can defeat a one on one block. Shaq did not exhibit this very consistently at all.
