After an 11-season tenure, earning four Pro Bowl selections and tallying 61.5 sacks with the Dallas Cowboys, DeMarcus Lawrence departed the team in free agency. He inked a three-year, $42 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks. During an interview with the “Hawk Blogger” channel in Seattle, Lawrence reflected on his move from Dallas to Seattle and jokingly remarked on the weather difference. However, he didn’t hold back when discussing his former team, implying that he didn’t believe he could win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys. This comment drew criticism from Cowboys star Micah Parsons, who labeled it as “rejection and envy.” Lawrence defended his statement, suggesting that Parsons should focus more on winning games than engaging in social media disputes.
Additional players, including Trevon Diggs and Chauncey Golston, expressed their opinions on the situation. Lawrence’s departure highlights the Cowboys’ Super Bowl drought, coaching concerns, and ownership issues. The team’s response to Lawrence’s departure included signing Kaiir Elam and acquiring Kenneth Murray Jr., with a potential extension for Parsons on the horizon. Meanwhile, Lawrence aims to revitalize his career after a limited appearance in the previous season.
He is currently dealing with a foot injury. After six seasons since his last season with double-digit sacks, he is now set to demonstrate his ability to disrupt plays at the line of scrimmage for a different team as he enters his 33rd season.
