Shaq Lawson admits he regrets signing with Dolphins in 2020

Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson spent just one season with the Miami Dolphins, but that was all it took for the Clemson alum to regret leaving Buffalo.

In a recent interview with Spectrum News 1 in Buffalo, Lawson admitted that leaving the team that drafted him for what he thought were greener pastures in Miami nearly derailed his career.

"At the time I thought that was the best decision for me," Lawson said. "Looking back...I'd probably say that's probably the worst decision I made.”

Lawson spent the first four years of his career with the Bills. The team declined his fifth-year option and he signed a three-year, $30 million contract with the Dolphins in March of 2020.

He played in 14 games, starting seven, and registering 32 tackles, four sacks, four tackles for loss, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery before he was traded to the Houston Texans in the offseason for Benardrick McKinney and a 2021 seventh-round pick.

Perhaps his most memorable moment in Miami came in a 34-31 win over the Arizona Cardinals in which he returned a fumble 36 yards for the opening touchdown.
