But there are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/nfl-rumors-lions-seahawks-implored-trade-up-draft-fix-clear-problems">problems the team must fix</a>.

And that’s why he still had value despite coming off an injury-plagued year where he totaled three sacks in four games.</p><p>However, in the previous two seasons, Lawrence earned Pro Bowl honors.</p><p>“This guy’s really, really smart on what sets tell you,” Macdonald said. “What blocks am I going to get, being able to create more negative plays on early downs to get us in some of those advantageous defensive situations that are really going to help us.”</p><p>And, of course, Lawrence can still get to the quarterback.</p><p>“Then obviously the pass-rush element, too, complementing ‘Chenna [Nwosu] and Boye [Mafe] and all those guys,” Macdonald said. “Moving him up and down the line like we do — we like to move guys around. So (Lawrence) fits right in.”</p><p>Lawrence said the move to the Seahawks <a href="https://www.seahawks.com/news/demarcus-lawrence-has-a-lot-more-in-the-tank#:~:text=Lawrence's%20career%20spans%2011%20years,at%20it%20as%20a%20blessing." rel="noopener">certainly felt different</a>, according to seahawks.com.</p><p>“It’s definitely surreal,” Lawrence said. “I woke up this morning like, ‘Holy crap I’m really in Seattle.’ But I still look at it as a blessing.

I also have a lot more in the tank and don’t need to stop now.”</p><p>Also, Lawrence said he believes he can mesh with the Seahawks’ defense.</p><p>“I’m familiar with the defense and the scheme, so just coming here and playing my style of football the right way,” Lawrence said. “This is the perfect opportunity. I have a coach. I trust this system, and I’m ready to play ball.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The former Dallas Cowboys teammates have been taking shots at each other since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-dallas-loses-demarcus-lawrence-seahawks-42-million-deal">Lawrence landed a $42 million deal</a> with the Seattle Seahawks in free agency earlier this month.</p><p>The feud quickly escalated, turning personal when Lawrence accused Parsons of prioritizing social media over football. Clearly Parsons wasn’t going to let the veteran defensive end have the last word. It took a little while, but the Cowboys’ All-Pro pass rusher <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/micah-parsons-calls-demarcus-lawrence-s-criticism-ridiculous-watch-the-tape" rel="noopener">responded</a> to Lawrence’s jab in an interview with All City DLLS.</p><p>“I think it’s ridiculous… You watch the tape. There’s no question I’m locked in. I’m giving my actual best effort out there on the field, which I think that’s all that matters,” Parsons said, per NFL.com.</p><p>“Everyone has their selection of how they want to deal with things. Some people drink. Some people smoke. I like to tweet. I like to be active and know about ball. I like to know what everyone else is doing. And that’s just me. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. What I care about is the effort you give me on the football field, and that’s something you can’t question. I know I’m one of the best players and as long as I’m performing that way, it shouldn’t matter. When you jump offside on the goal line, is that because I’m tweeting? I think it’s ridiculous, outrageous,” Parsons stated.</p><h2><b>Cowboys’ All-Pro Micah Parsons won’t let DeMarcus Lawrence beef die</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Micah-Parsons.jpg"><figcaption>Tim Heitman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The war of words began when Lawrence left Dallas this offseason and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/demarcus-lawrence-blasts-cowboys-super-bowl-chances-after-joining-seahawks">took a parting shot at the team</a>, saying he knew he was never going to win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys. The dig caught Parsons’ attention and he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-micah-parsons-beef-demarcus-lawrences-personal">fired back with a personal attack</a>, writing “This what rejection and envy look like… this some clown s**t.”</p><p>Lawrence, naturally, responded. The 12-year veteran wrote, “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.”</p><p>The back-and-forth seemed to fizzle out after that. But now Parsons has replied to Lawrence’s accusation. So it’s just a matter of time before Lawrence hops on some podcast and answers back.</p><p>Prior to signing his three-year deal with the Seahawks, Lawrence told reporters he was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/demarcus-lawrence-hoping-for-glorious-return-to-cowboys">hoping to stay with the Cowboys</a>, saying “It would be a glorious thing.” Then after he left he stated the team wouldn’t win a Super Bowl during his playing career. Then, in the middle of his social media fight with Parsons, he wrote a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-demarcus-lawrence-heartfelt-letter-after-signing-seahawks">heartfelt goodbye letter to the Cowboys</a>.</p><p>It seems Lawrence has some feelings to sort out this offseason. Dallas still needs to sort out Parsons’ contract situation. While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/nfl-rumors-cowboys-micah-parsons-contract-extension-talks-underway">extension talks are underway</a>, there’s been no progress as the four-time Pro Bowler enters the final year of his rookie deal.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Clearly, Parsons didn’t appreciate Lawrence voicing his opinion of the Cowboys’ Super Bowl chances.</p><p>Last season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-demarcus-lawrence-exits-giants-game-lower-body-injury">Lawrence injured his foot</a> early and missed 13 games. He was limited to just 14 total tackles and three sacks. The Seahawks hope there’s more left in the tank for the veteran defender who’s now healthy. Lawrence racked up 61.5 sacks during his Cowboys tenure.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Following 11 years with the Dallas Cowboys, DeMarcus Lawrence signed with the Seattle Seahawks in free agency on a three-year, $42 million contract. He made sure it was not a clean break, however, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/demarcus-lawrence-blasts-cowboys-super-bowl-chances-after-joining-seahawks">taking a shot</a> at his former team’s Super Bowl chances. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-micah-parsons-beef-demarcus-lawrences-personal">Micah Parsons clapped back</a>, resulting in a social media war between the two pass-rushers.</p><p>The negative energy is upsetting and surprising someone who wore the star on his helmet and shared the gridiron with both men. Four-year defensive end Chauncey Golston, one of the newest members of the New York Giants, <a href="https://x.com/2live57/status/1900366755060474239" rel="noopener">takes no joy in seeing</a> his former teammates sling barbs at one another. He did not expect the bonds they built together on the defensive line to unravel so quickly.</p><p>“I thought it was a brotherhood over EVERYTHING,” Golston posted on X, presumably in response to the Parsons-Lawrence verbal sparring match that was taking place. This is not the type of noise the Cowboys want to be making in the offseason.</p><p>Golston came into Dallas in 2021, the same year as two-time First-Team All-Pro Micah Parsons, and spent plenty of time with both of these playmakers. This is not how the former Iowa star or Dallas fans want to remember this era of Cowboys football. In any event, he must now look ahead to the next phase of his NFL journey, which keeps him in the NFC East and brings him to the Meadowlands.</p><h2><b>Chauncey Golston will try to help the Giants bounce back</b></h2><p>The Giants boast a high-end pass-rusher in Brian Burns, a wild-card talent in Kayvon Thibodeaux and now add valuable depth piece in Chauncey Golston. The 27-year-old, who inked a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-chauncey-golston-leaves-cowboys-19-5-million-contract">three-year, $19.5 million deal</a> with New York earlier this week, totaled a career-high five and a half sacks, 30 solo tackles and five tackles for loss during the 2024-25 campaign.</p><p>General manager Joe Schoen is trusting Golston to serve a key role on a defense that could be far more imposing next season. Even so, the Giants know they still have much to prove before earning the public’s faith. The Cowboys are in their own adjustment period, and it is under the microscope for all to see.</p><p>Neither New York, Dallas nor Seattle made the playoffs last season and there is certainly a chance that holds true again next year, but they all just became a little more interesting. For better or worse.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The newest Seattle Seahawks signing via NFL free agency didn’t mince words about the Cowboys’ Super Bowl chances.</p><p>The longtime Cowboys pass rusher hopped on the Hawk Blogger podcast with Brian Nemhauser Thursday. The veteran made his media rounds for the first time since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-dallas-loses-demarcus-lawrence-seahawks-42-million-deal">Lawrence signed the blockbuster $42 million deal</a>. While Lawrence revealed he hasn’t had enough time to “debunk” his emotions in leaving Dallas, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/-Rj9l9p4B40" rel="noopener">he still took jabs at his former team.</a></p><p>“Change of scenery is always good. Dallas is my home, it’s my family’s home, but I know for sure I wasn’t going to win a Super Bowl there,” Lawrence shared.</p><p>Lawrence wasn’t through. He faced the camera and let out a “we here!” statement — further jabbing the Cowboys.</p><h2><b>Ex-Cowboys star DeMarcus Lawrence to bolster Seahawks pass rush</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/DeMarcus-Lawrence-practicing.jpg"><figcaption>Jason Parkhurst-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 32-year-old Lawrence ended an 11-year run with the Cowboys by joining the ‘Hawks.

He told Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star Telegram that “The ball is in their court. I’m going to have other options, but I’d like to stay here.”</p><p>He cited how his family loved the Dallas area. Plus how he’s beloved by Cowboys fans. Lawrence became one of the longest tenured members of the Cowboys.</p><p>Lawrence used his speed off the edge to rack up 61.5 sacks across his 11 seasons. But he endured a truncated 2024 season. Lawrence went down with a foot injury in Week 4 against the rival New York Giants. Lawrence never returned to action and the Cowboys missed the playoffs.</p><p>Had Lawrence returned, he would’ve been a part of a regime change. Dallas elevated offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, replacing Mike McCarthy. Schottenheimer also never retained Lawrence’s defensive coordinator from 2024 Mike Zimmer. He instead hired former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus.</p><p>Lawrence will aim to hunt down his first Super Bowl ring with the Seahawks. He’s heading to a team that went 10-7 under first-year head coach Mike Macdonald. Lawrence is also reuniting with former Cowboys assistant Aden Durde, who’s the Seahawks’ defensive coordinator.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
