"Lawrence, ever the straight-shooter, didn't hold back, which is what created a stir last offseason when he infamously got into a social media dispute with Parsons after saying, "Dallas is my home...But I know for sure I'm not going to win a Super Bowl there". This prompted a spicy social media retort from Parsons, who labeled the sentiment "rejection and envy" and "clown (bleep)". Lawrence's comeback was equally legendary: "Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn't have left.""
"This season, he tallied 53 total tackles, six sacks, and forced three fumbles. Perhaps most impressively, he also scooped up two fumbles and returned them for touchdowns in a single half against the Cardinals. It seems the Seattle rain has been a fountain of youth for the 33-year-old veteran pass rusher, who is now one win away from the Super Bowl ring he predicted he'd never get in Texas."
Leaving the Dallas Cowboys is compared to breaking up with a high school sweetheart, with outcomes ranging from Super Bowl glory to disappointing stints elsewhere. Historical examples include Jimmy Smith flourishing in Jacksonville, Dez Bryant's brief, confusing cameo in Baltimore, and Jason Witten's move to the Raiders. DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons exchanged public barbs over Lawrence's claim that he would not win a Super Bowl in Dallas, with Parsons calling the remark 'rejection and envy' and Lawrence retorting that Parsons should spend less time tweeting and more time winning. Lawrence thrived in Seattle, posting 53 tackles, six sacks, three forced fumbles, and two fumble-return touchdowns, and moved within one win of a Super Bowl ring.
