From Maiocco's blog entry on the LaBoy signing...
"Lawson's contract is set to expire at the end of the season. There have not been serious discussions toward an extension. Lawson was absent from the 49ers' two days of organized team activities last month."
Personally, I like Manny, but he hasn't knocked anyone dead in terms of passrushing, which is what he was drafted to do. In 2009, he did much better in that area (6.5 sacks), but if the Niners see passrushing as his primary job, they may be willing to trade him. His versatility would be more valuable to a team that runs a 4-3 defense.
