Just saw this posted on Twitter for Dexter Lawrence's "down year" in 2025.

Stats for the Giants defense when Lawrence is on the field vs when he is not on the field:

OFF field:

#32 YPA (8.4)
#31 sack rate (4.1%)
#27 EPA/pass (+0.13)
#26 pass success (47%)
#23 pressure rate (32%)

ON field:

#7 pass success (40%)
#8 YPA (6.6)
#9 sack rate (7.7%)
#10 EPA/pass (+0.09)
#22 pressure rate (33%)

The Giants had a terrible defense. We could certainly use that kind of production in our terrible defense.

Those are crazy that the stats are that different for one player particularly one that in all areas had minimal at best stats himself. I first thought maybe with him off the field was just due to small sample size but he only played in 68% of D snaps. I wonder if he went off with another player most times? That seems doubtful but clearly the player taking his place had to have been terrible for the D for fall off that much.

That would help fix our defense, and this is exactly why we won't do it!

No, we won't do it because the Browns are more concerned about the bottom line than winning.

We'd have to trade our first round pick plus other later picks to aquire him. Then, we have to meet his salary demands. Those picks we'd have to trade away will all be on rookie contracts for the next four years.

The accumulation of those picks contracts won't come close to what Lawrence will demand.

Cheaper rookies vs expensive veteran. Who do you think the Browns will choose...?
