    Former Cowboys Teammates Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence Take Vicious Shots at Each Other After Split

    Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence ruffled some feathers after agreeing to a three-year deal worth up to $42 million with the Seattle Seahawks. He spent 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and said he moved to Seattle because he didn’t believe he could ever win a Super Bowl in Dallas.

    Lawrence’s comments didn’t sit well with Micah Parsons, leading to a heated exchange between the two on social media.

    Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence Exchange Blows on Social Media

    The Cowboys haven’t hoisted the Lombardi Trophy since 1996, and while Lawrence delivered 61.5 sacks in his 11 years in Dallas, it wasn’t enough to bring home a championship. However, Lawrence believes signing with the Seahawks has increased his chances.

    “Change of scenery is always good, but Dallas is my home,” Lawrence said Thursday in an interview with Hawk Blogger. “Made my home there, my family lives there. I’m forever gonna be there, but I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there. So, yeah … we here.”

    The comments didn’t sit well with Parsons, who didn’t hold back in his response.

    “This what rejection and envy look like! This some clown s***,” Parsons replied.

    Parsons’ words fired up Lawrence even more, and he shot back, telling Parsons to focus on winning instead of tweeting.

    “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,” Lawrence said.

    Lawrence’s frustration with the Cowboys is understandable. Dallas never advanced beyond the Divisional Round during his tenure and finished 7-10 in 2024. He only started seven games last season, recording three sacks and one forced fumble.

    Meanwhile, Parsons recorded 12 sacks in 13 games and is up for contract extension talks with the Cowboys. Dallas picked up his fifth-year option, which guarantees him $24 million in 2025. If the Cowboys extend his contract, Parsons is expected to command more than $40 million per year.

    What Does Lawrence’s Departure Mean for the Cowboys?

    Lawrence was a key piece on Dallas’ defensive line, but given that he missed most of the 2024 season, the Cowboys got a look at what the future might hold without him.

    It allowed DT Osa Odighizuwa to take control of the frontline, leading to a four-year extension after a strong 2024 season. He set career highs in sacks, total tackles and quarterback hits.

    Dallas also signed defensive end Solomon Thomas and will expect a significant jump in performance from 2023 first-round pick DT Mazi Smith.

    Smith has played in every game of his NFL career but has only registered two sacks. However, his performance steadily improved, with 41 total tackles last season compared to 13 as a rookie.

    Additionally, the Cowboys could get linebacker DeMarvion Overshown back in 2025 after he suffered a season-ending knee injury. His return would bolster the defense.

    If Overshown isn’t ready for the start of the season, Dallas will rely on Marist Liufau, who finished last season with 50 tackles — 24 of them in the final four games — and 1.5 sacks.
