Seahawks finally granted DeMarcus Lawrence a wish the Cowboys couldn't
DeMarcus Lawrence only knew one team in his excellent career. He had always played with the Dallas Cowboys before joining the Seattle Seahawks this offseason. Ahead of the season, he said one reason he wanted to go to Seattle was to have a better chance to win a championship.
Some might have laughed, though most of those were probably Cowboys fans. Dallas fans have been waiting for goodness for three decades, so we can rule them out for any real NFL observations. America's Team hasn't truly been relevant for a long time.
But Lawrence wasn't going to leave Dallas, most likely, for a team where he had to help them rebuild their defense, and there might not have been a good chance to do so. One reason he might have thought the Seahawks were closer to winning a Super Bowl was that Mike Macdonald was going to have an elite defense.
DeMarcus Lawrence likely got his wish with the Seattle Seahawks
Wish granted. While Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was foolishly trading All-Pro Micah Parsons, Lawrence was fitting into Seattle's edge rusher group. He was also helping teach young Derick Hall to be an even better player and better pro.
Through two games, the Cowboys, without Parsons and Lawrence, have allowed the 27th-most points in the league. Seattle is eighth with 34. Dallas is 30th in yards allowed per play at 6.4, and the Seahawks are 10th at 5.0.
But Lawrence hasn't had to do the heavy lifting. He is part of a group of good defensive players that are part of a great defensive scheme. Defense, after all, wins championships, and that means Seattle is much closer to a title than Dallas.
Instead of being involved with the Jerry Jones mess of accumulating some individual pieces that are high-quality without any idea how those pieces should fit together best, Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider understand that a player like Tyrice Knight might not make the Pro Bowl, but is essential to an overall good defensive unit.
DeMarcus Lawrence also might be able to extend his career because he signed with the Seattle Seahawks. With the Dallas Cowboys, he would have had to play a bunch of snaps because his team would have lacked much quality. In Seattle, he can stay fresh.
In fact, while he has only had three quarterback pressures and four run stuffs through two games, Lawrence's best is likely still to come with the Seahawks in 2025. If that happens, he should be back in 2026 and helping the team win even more games, possibly
