Demarcus Lawrence left the Dallas Cowboys after 11 seasons this week, but he has been against his former team.
Lawrence formed a staple on the Dallas defensive line after signing with the Seattle Seahawks this week.
But, he thinks why he decided not to return to the Cowboys.

“Dallas is my home. I’m home there, my family lives there, and I’ll be there forever,” he said to reporters this week. “But I know I’m not going to win the Super Bowl there, so we’re here.”
Micah Parsons grabbed the comment and shouted.
“What kind of rejection and jealousy is this! This clown S-t!”
Despite being a teammate for four years, Lawrence was not easy.
Lawrence replied: “Calling me as a clown won’t change the fact that I tell the truth. Maybe if you spend less time winning on Twitter and more time, I won’t leave.”

In the past, Parsons has been criticized for being active on social media and hosting podcasts.
But Lawrence may have a little bit. The Cowboys haven’t even competed in the NFC Championship since winning the fifth Super Bowl title in the series.
Lawrence agreed to a three-year contract with the Seahawks, Dallas’ second-round draft pick in 2013, signing the largest defensive player contract in club history six years later, combining consecutive double-digit sacks.
Lawrence has never exceeded 6.5 sacks after Lawrence signed the big contract, and the Cowboys entered the division round four times in his 11 seasons. He said the Cowboys did not offer him a contract during the offseason, but his deal with the Seahawks was worth $42 million.
The 32-year-old sprained four games in 2024, missing at least half of the two seasons in the last four years, but early in his career he made four Pro Bowls.

With Parsons entering the final year of their rookie contract, the Cowboys may be about to be the highest-paid non-quarter guard in the NFL. Cleveland’s defensive end Myles Garrett just won the championship, with an average of $40 million per season.
