2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Carl Lawson in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
RANKS
$Signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys in October of 2024.

LBFree Agent
October 23, 2025
The Ravens signed Lawson to the practice squad Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawson played in 15 regular-season games for the Cowboys in 2024 and logged 15 tackles (seven solo), including 5.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. With Broderick Washington (ankle) on IR and Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) out for the season, Lawson's addition to the Ravens' practice squad gives the team depth at defensive end. Given his recent addition, Lawson is unlikely to be elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Lawson posted seven sacks in 2022 after missing the entire 2021 campaign due to a torn Achilles. The 28-year-old defensive end is optimistic that he can hit double-digit sacks for the first time in 2023, and he's well positioned to do so as the top edge rusher in a Jets defense that has Quinnen Williams generating interior pressure, as well as the cornerback duo of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed taking away passing lanes. Lawson will have competition for playing time from 2022 and 2023 first-round picks Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald, as well as the versatile John Franklin-Myers.
Lawson was expected to help revive the Jets' pass rush after signing a three-year, $45 million deal with New York last offseason, but he tore his Achilles in August and missed the entire 2021 campaign. Prior to signing with the Jets, the 27-year-old defensive end totaled at least five sacks in three of his first four NFL seasons as a member of the Bengals. Lawson's expected to be available from the get-go in 2022, though it remains to be seen if he will fully regain his pre-injury explosiveness.
While Lawson tied for fourth in the league with 44 pressures last season, he picked up just 5.5 sacks, tying for the fewest among the 21 players with at least 32 pressures. He's a prime candidate to up his sack total as part of an imposing Jets defensive line after signing a three-year deal with New York in the offseason. However, the team's shoddy secondary will need to cover long enough to enable Lawson to get there.

August 15, 2024
Lawson is signing with the Cowboys on Thursday, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cowboys have been busy fortifying their defensive line this week, also having traded for the Giants' Jordan Phillips on Wednesday. Lawson had worked out for the Cowboys earlier in training camp, and he comes to Dallas off a particularly disappointing 2023 season with the Jets where he was a healthy scratch for 11 games.
