DeMarcus Lawrence on Dallas Cowboys: ‘I know for sure I’m not gonna win a Super Bowl there’
DeMarcus Lawrence may have taken a shot at the Dallas Cowboys as he joined the Seahawks.
DeMarcus Lawrence officially left the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday as he joined the Seattle Seahawks. With a special place in franchise history, it felt like every Cowboys fan wished Lawrence the best as he pursued something else because he felt it was in his best interest.
That spirit of friendliness may dissipate for some after hearing what Lawrence had to say recently. In doing a fresh round of interview with the Seattle media, Lawrence noted that he considers Dallas home and what not, but he specifically said that he knows he is not going to win the Super Bowl with the Cowboys.
This can be taken one of two ways.
The more aggressive way to take this is that Lawrence was outwardly calling out the Cowboys and is trying to stir the pot. He has never been afraid to speak his mind, so this is certainly possible on some level.
Personally I took this as Lawrence planting his flag for his new team. He may be being literal and saying the Cowboys aren’t going to win the Super Bowl, because the Seahawks are because he is a part of them. Maybe that is reaching.
I just find it odd, and I think everyone does, that Tank would be so pointed against the Cowboys after spending over a decade with the team. If it was meant in a shot-type way, that is a really direct thing to say about an organization that he spent so long with.
Maybe Lawrence did not like the offer that the Cowboys gave him that led to him leaving? Obviously anything is possible here.

Micah Parsons chimed in on the viral tweet and went to the defense of the Cowboys.
For what it’s worth Parsons seemed to take Lawrence’s departure in general as a call to action for himself. He posted this shortly after news was reported that Tank was Seattle-bound.
Parsons seems to be taking this all and running with it. Good for him.

Now things are getting spicy.
