Lawrence, Parsons trade jabs after ex-Cowboy's Super Bowl dig - ESPN

FRISCO, Texas — After 11 years with the Dallas Cowboys, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence opted to sign a three-year deal worth a base value of $32.5 million with the Seattle Seahawks as a free agent this week.

But his words upon his arrival in the Pacific Northwest drew the ire of former teammate Micah Parsons on Thursday.

Speaking to Seahawks blogger Brian Nemhauser, Lawrence said, «A change in scenery is always good, but Dallas is my home. I made my home there, my family lives there, I'm forever going to be there. But I know for sure I'm not going to win a Super Bowl there, so yeah. We here.»

That drew a response on X from Parsons, Lawrence's teammate for four years and a fellow pass rusher.

«This what rejection and envy look like! This some clown s---!» Parsons wrote.

Several members of the Cowboys organization were upset with Lawrence's comment Thursday night, sources told ESPN.

Lawrence missed the final 13 games of last season after suffering a Lisfranc injury to his right foot. There was hope he would be able to return late in the year, but the Cowboys struggled to a 7-10 finish that ultimately led to a head-coaching change from Mike McCarthy to Brian Schottenheimer.

Lawrence came back at Parsons, noting the Pro Bowl edge rusher's social media use. Parsons does a podcast during the season for Bleacher Report, as well.

«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,» Lawrence wrote on X.

Before free agency, Lawrence told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he would like to remain with the Cowboys.
