Dallas Cowboys fans did not hold back on DeMarcus Lawrence’s departure note – just days after his heated online argument with Micah Parsons about the team’s success and culture.<\/div>\n

FRISCO – Defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence – an 11-year\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0veteran – quickly tarnished his reputation after signing with the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0this free agency.<\/p>\n

After his new deal in Seattle, Lawrence ignited the Cowboys fan base – and active roster – from what he said about Dallas’ future.<\/p>\n

Lawrence dealt with injury in the 2024 season, but there might have been many factors that contributed to his departure.<\/p>\n

Lawrence stated in a Seahawks interview with Brian Nemhauser that he knew he would never win a\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0in Dallas, and\u00a0Micah took exception to that, calling it a “clown (expletive).”<\/p>\n

Lawrence answered: “Calling me a clown won\u2019t change the fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn\u2019t have left.”<\/p>\n

After all we heard about “brotherhood” during Dallas’ 7-10 season in 2024,\u00a0as it turns out, something was always bubbling beneath the surface that has now erupted on social media.<\/p>\n

If you read CowboysCountry.com and watch The Fish Report with our own Mike Fisher, none of this completely shocks you.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Now, not even 48 hours later …\u00a0Lawrence is back on X, but with a more emotional and sentimental tone:<\/p>\n

DeMarcus Lawrence’s goodbye note to the Dallas Cowboys (via X\/@TankLawrence)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Cowboys Nation, in the wake of the “Tank vs. Lion” feud, were not receptive to Lawrence’s goodbye to the organization.<\/p>\n

We will refrain from including the fans’ explicit comments (there are a lot), but here are some of their more tame thoughts:<\/p>\n

“You trashed the organization and are expecting us to care.”<\/p>\n

“Posting this after what happened is insane lol …”<\/p>\n

“His publicist wrote that. He told us his [true] feelings already.”<\/p>\n

The list goes on…<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And indeed … In reading his goodbye essay, the contradictions are obvious.<\/p>\n

Most glaring the part about “loving every player” in the organization.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As Parsons takes over the leadership of the defensive line, he expressed his excitement for the culture shift.<\/p>\n

“It’s my time,” he wrote separately on social media.<\/p>\n

Fish has noted the “brotherhood BS” the Cowboys have within the locker room.<\/p>\n

And in seeing the voices under Lawrence’s goodbye letter, Cowboys fans are favoring #TeamMicah in the teammates’ split as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
