FRISCO – Defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence – an 11-year Dallas Cowboys veteran – quickly tarnished his reputation after signing with the Seattle Seahawks this free agency.
After his new deal in Seattle, Lawrence ignited the Cowboys fan base – and active roster – from what he said about Dallas’ future.
Lawrence dealt with injury in the 2024 season, but there might have been many factors that contributed to his departure.
Lawrence stated in a Seahawks interview with Brian Nemhauser that he knew he would never win a Super Bowl in Dallas, and Micah took exception to that, calling it a “clown (expletive).”
Lawrence answered: “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.”
After all we heard about “brotherhood” during Dallas’ 7-10 season in 2024, as it turns out, something was always bubbling beneath the surface that has now erupted on social media.
If you read CowboysCountry.com and watch The Fish Report with our own Mike Fisher, none of this completely shocks you.
Indeed, hours before this spit hit the fan, we wrote about the true meaning of Parsons’ “It’s My Time” tweet – signifying the shift in leadership after Zack Martin’s tenured Cowboys closed in retirement and Lawrence signing elsewhere.
Now, not even 48 hours later … Lawrence is back on X, but with a more emotional and sentimental tone:
DeMarcus Lawrence’s goodbye note to the Dallas Cowboys (via X/@TankLawrence)
Cowboys Nation, in the wake of the “Tank vs. Lion” feud, were not receptive to Lawrence’s goodbye to the organization.
We will refrain from including the fans’ explicit comments (there are a lot), but here are some of their more tame thoughts:
“You trashed the organization and are expecting us to care.”
“Posting this after what happened is insane lol …”
“His publicist wrote that. He told us his [true] feelings already.”
The list goes on…
While there are some comments that do show appreciation Lawrence’s service to The Star, it seems now a majority of maybe-temporary-angry Cowboys fans are happy to see him leave.
And indeed … In reading his goodbye essay, the contradictions are obvious.
Most glaring the part about “loving every player” in the organization.
He and Parsons were teammates for four seasons from 2021-2024 – every year of Micah’s career to this point. But you could feel the heat from their fuming dislike of one another from the X exchange.
As Parsons takes over the leadership of the defensive line, he expressed his excitement for the culture shift.
“It’s my time,” he wrote separately on social media.
Fish has noted the “brotherhood BS” the Cowboys have within the locker room.
And in seeing the voices under Lawrence’s goodbye letter, Cowboys fans are favoring #TeamMicah in the teammates’ split as well.
