DeMarcus Lawrence Takes Shot at Cowboys After Signing With Seahawks. The Dallas Cowboys’ offseason just took a dramatic turn as long-time defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence has officially left the team for a new challenge with the Seattle Seahawks. However, his departure has been anything but quiet.
Lawrence’s Move to Seattle
After spending 11 years in Dallas and earning four Pro Bowl selections—most recently in 2023—Lawrence has signed a three-year, $32.5 million deal with the Seahawks ahead of the 2025 season. While Cowboys fans were already disappointed to see him go, his latest comments have sparked even more controversy.
A Parting Shot at the Cowboys
During an interview with Seahawks blogger Brian Nemhauser, Lawrence didn’t hold back when discussing his former team. While acknowledging that Dallas will always be home, he made it clear that he didn’t believe he had a real shot at winning a Super Bowl with the Cowboys.
“A change in scenery is always good, but Dallas is my home. I made my home there, my family lives there, I’m forever going to be there. But I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there, so yeah. We here.”
He went on to emphasize the importance of being on a team with all the right pieces in place to contend for a championship.
“Just thinking and wanting a Super Bowl, it doesn’t all come together if all the pieces ain’t there. For me to have another opportunity to go and chase my dream to win a Super Bowl with a good team and the pieces are in place, I had to take my opportunity.”
Micah Parsons Fires Back
It didn’t take long for Lawrence’s former teammates to react to his comments. Star Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons took to social media to express his frustration, calling out Lawrence’s remarks.
“This what rejection and envy look like! This some clown s**t,” Parsons wrote on Thursday.
Lawrence quickly fired back, refusing to back down from his statement.
“Calling me a clown won’t change the fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn’t have left.”
Will Lawrence Be Proven Right?
The Cowboys’ Super Bowl drought is now stretching into its 30th year, something that has frustrated fans and players alike. While Dallas continues to be a playoff contender, they have failed to make it past the Divisional Round since their last championship win in 1995.
Lawrence is hoping that his move to Seattle, a team he believes has the right pieces in place, will lead him to the championship he’s chasing. But will his decision pay off, or will the Cowboys prove him wrong by finally breaking their title drought?
One thing is for sure—this isn’t the last we’ll hear about the fallout from Lawrence’s comments. Cowboys fans will have this matchup circled on their calendars, and all eyes will be on the Seahawks and Cowboys when they face off next season.
