Super Bowl 2026: DeMarcus Lawrence, after knowing he 'for sure' wouldn't earn one with the Cowboys, wins ring with Seahawks

DeMarcus Lawrence was right all along.

Lawrence and the Seattle Seahawks rolled to a win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night in Santa Clara, California. That marked the franchise’s first championship in more than a decade, and the first of Lawrence’s career.

But Lawrence knew that wasn’t going to happen for him with the Dallas Cowboys, the team that selected him with the No. 34 overall pick back in 2014. That’s why, after 11 seasons with the franchise, Lawrence opted for a change in free agency last offseason.

That resulted in him signing a three-year, $32.5 million deal with the Seahawks and, now months later, a Super Bowl ring.

While he wasn’t completely mean to the organization on his way out the door in Dallas, Lawrence didn’t hold back, either.

“Made my home there [in Dallas], my family lives there,” he said in March, in part. “I’m forever gonna be there, but I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there.”

Those comments didn't land well in Dallas, either. Former Cowboys star Micah Parsons, who is now with the Green Bay Packers, called them, "clown s**t."

Lawrence ended up with 53 total tackles and six sacks this season with the Seahawks. He earned his fifth Pro Bowl nod, too. The 33-year-old had two total tackles, one of them on his own, and both a pass deflection and a quarterback hit in the team’s 29-13 win over the Patriots on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.

The Cowboys, after Lawrence left, went 7-9-1 and failed to make the playoffs for a second straight campaign. While the Cowboys have won five championships in the past, the team hasn't been to a Super Bowl since 1996. Though Lawrence undoubtedly would have helped the Cowboys defense this past season, something it desperately needed, he just wanted to move on.

That decision, it turned out, paid off not even a full calendar year later. With the Lombardi Trophy in hand, it's hard to imagine Lawrence has any regrets about that move.
