Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys were having a quiet free agency period until DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons decided to break the silence. It all started with this statement from Lawrence in an interview with Brian Nemhauser about his desire to play for a Super Bowl contender after signing with the Seahawks.
“You know, 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’re here.”
It’s important to remember that Jones gave big contract extensions to Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, so, considering that a new deal for Parsons is still pending, Lawrence looked for money elsewhere, signing with Seattle for three years and $32.5 million.
What happened between Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence?
When Micah Parsons saw the video with DeMarcus Lawrence’s statements about the Dallas Cowboys, he couldn’t hold back and sent a harsh message to his former teammate through his official X account. “This what rejection and envy look like! This some clown!”
Then, Lawrence responded in that same thread. “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.”
