Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson might become former Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson in a few weeks.
Lawson had his best season as a professional in 2019, notching 6.5 sacks, second-highest on the Bills (Jordan Phillips – 9.5) and he led the team with 13 tackles for loss.
But Lawson wants to set the bar even higher in 2020, regardless of the team he’s on. Lawson took to social media this week and moved things up.
“Great year, but I am coming for 10-plus sacks,” Lawson posted.

While a pending free agent, Lawson did express a desire to return to Buffalo during the team’s locker cleanout day, saying he’d “love” to be back. However, Lawson also indicated that he would have to make an understandable “business decision” as well.
Most importantly, Lawson doesn’t appear to be taking this personal. The Bills could have locked Lawson up for next season, but declined the fifth-round option on his rookie contract. That’s something that Lawson said motivated him to have a career-year.
