DeMarcus Lawrence, a four-time Pro Bowl defensive end who spent 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, has signed a three-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks. The deal is worth up to $42 million, with $18 million guaranteed, as announced by his agents David Canter and Ness Mugrabi of Aura Sports Group. Lawrence, standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 265 pounds, was a second-round pick by the Cowboys in the 2014 NFL Draft out of Boise State. During his tenure with the Cowboys, Lawrence recorded 61.5 sacks, 285 solo tackles, and 21 forced fumbles. Last season, he managed three sacks in four games before being sidelined with a Lisfranc injury. His departure marks a significant change for the Cowboys, who also saw the retirement of Zack Martin, another long-tenured player, earlier in the offseason. The signing reunites Lawrence with Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde, who previously served as the defensive line coach for the Cowboys. Lawrence's addition to the Seahawks is expected to bolster their pass rush, following the release of veterans Dre'Mont Jones and Roy Robertson-Harris. Lawrence, who turns 33 on April 28, had the eighth-highest grade from Pro Football Focus among edge defenders in 2023, with a notable 92.4 mark in run defense.
