The Dallas Cowboys have lived in a world of ‘almost’—always close, but never quite there. Fans hype for the Super Bowl, but it’s just been heartbreak after heartbreak. Now, DeMarcus Lawrence, a huge part of the Cowboys’ defense for almost a decade, has made his move.

DeMarcus Lawrence is out. His move isn’t just about joining a new team; it’s his way of saying loyalty has limits when that championship keeps slipping through your fingers. He said, “I have had the honor and privilege to wear the star and call myself a Dallas Cowboy for my entire NFL career.” He thought he’d finish his career with the Cowboys, but now he’s heading to Seattle.

He’s embracing the new chapter with excitement, as he said, “I leave for Seattle with excitement, the same passion for the game, love, and determination to prove my way of football.” It’s bittersweet, but he’s ready to start fresh with his fam.

The Cowboys’ Super Bowl drought is like that TikTok loop that never stops, always the same. Lawrence has been reppin’ Dallas since 2014, but after all the same old vibes, he’s like, ‘Yeah, I’m out.’ Now, he’s all in on Seattle, throwing some serious shade at the Cowboys. It’s not just about a change of scenery—the dude was straight-up done waiting for a Super Bowl that was never coming in Dallas. He knew it was time to bounce.

On March 13, DeMarcus Lawrence kicked it with Hawk Blogger’s Brian Nemhauser and didn’t hold back. When talking about Seattle’s chilly weather, he joked, “The main difference, as you can see, is this cold. Gotta keep my jacket on here, but definitely love the atmosphere. Change of scenery is always good.” But then came the mic drop: “Dallas is my home. I made my home there. My family lives there. I’m forever gonna be there. But, you know, I know for sure I’m not gonna win a Super Bowl there. So yeah, we here.” It’s a big burn for the Cowboys and Jerry Jones, who haven’t sniffed a Super Bowl since the ’90s.

Vegas still sees both Dallas and Seattle as long shots for the Super Bowl, but for Lawrence, switching teams is all about chasing a vibe. He said, “I woke up this morning like ‘Holy crap I’m really in Seattle.’ But I still look at it as a blessing. Opportunities don’t last forever.” Basically, he’s treating this like a glow-up moment. Plus, reuniting with his old Cowboys coach, Aden Durde, in Seattle is just icing on the cake, while Dallas is out here trying to figure out what’s next.

What’s your perspective on:

Will the Cowboys regret letting DeMarcus Lawrence go, or is it time for fresh leadership?

Have an interesting take?

Letting Lawrence go saved the Cowboys $42 million, but now Micah Parsons is left solo on defense. Dallas brought in some new guys like CB Kaiir Elam and LB Kenneth Murray Jr., but let’s be real—it’s not exactly blowing anyone away. Meanwhile, Seattle’s not just getting a pass-rusher—they’re getting Lawrence’s whole swagger. Even though he’s recovering from an injury, he’s still confident, saying, “I still have a lot left in the tank.” With him joining forces with Leonard Williams and Boye Mafe, Seattle’s defense just got 10 times scarier.

At the end of the day, Lawrence’s exit isn’t just about one player bouncing—it’s a wake-up call for the Cowboys. While Lawrence chases new dreams in Seattle, Dallas remains stuck in a 30-year Super Bowl drought. They’ve got a fresh defensive plan, but they need to show up. It’s time to stop hyping up the championship and actually go out and win it.

Micah Parsons throws massive shade at DeMarcus Lawrence after his savage exit

When DeMarcus Lawrence dipped from the Cowboys to sign a three-year, $32.5 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks, he didn’t exactly leave quietly. In his goodbye speech, he straight-up said, “But I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there, so yeah. We here.” Naturally, Micah Parsons wasn’t about to let that slide. On X, he clapped back with, “This what rejection and envy look like! This some clown s—!” Yeah, the beef is real.

Parsons was big mad about Lawrence’s comments. The two had been teammates for four years, so it was pretty wild to see all that tension spill out on social media. Lawrence throwing shade at the Cowboys didn’t sit right with Parsons, and you can tell he was low key hurt. It wasn’t just a ‘peace out’ moment—it was a full-on roast.

But Lawrence wasn’t about to let Micah have the last word. He hit back, writing, “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.” Ooh. That’s a burn! Lawrence clearly wasn’t here for the drama in Dallas and wasn’t shy about calling out Parsons and the squad. He was done with the team that couldn’t seem to put it all together, even with star players like him and Parsons.

The whole back-and-forth just shows how messy things got between Lawrence and the Cowboys. He’s out here chasing that Super Bowl elsewhere, and Parsons is left holding the bag. If the two teams ever meet in the playoffs, you know it’s going to be straight fire. The tension between Lawrence and Parsons will definitely make things interesting.
