Background, 2022
Lawrence has been with the Cardinals for three seasons as he was drafted in the fourth round in 2020 out of LSU.
He has played well when he has played. The problem has been injuries. He has been on injured reserve in each of the first three seasons in his career.
Last year, he played in only five games, picking up 10 tackles and a forced fumble.
2023 salary, cap hit
Now in the final year of his rookie deal, he will earn $1.01 million in salary. His cap hit will be $1.18 million.
Roster outlook
Lawrence is certainly in the mix to make the team. He has gotten first-team defensive snaps in training camp so far.
