Demarcus Lawrence left the Dallas Cowboys this week after 11 seasons, but he has already made a rival with his former team.
Lawrence signed with the Seattle Seahawks this week after forming himself as a staple of Dallas's line of defense.
However, he was dull about why he decided not to return to the Cowboys.

“Dallas is my home. I'll build my home there, my family lives there, and I'll be there forever,” he told reporters this week. “But we're here because I'm sure I'm not going to win the Super Bowl there.”
Mika Parsons spoke by catching the wind of the comments.
“This is what rejection and vy hope looks like!
Despite being a teammate for four years, Lawrence didn't make it easy.
“Calling me a clown doesn't change the fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you tweeted more time and won, I wouldn't have left.” Lawrence replied.

Parsons has been criticized for being active on social media and hosting podcasts in the past.
But Lawrence may have a point. The Cowboys have not reached the NFC Championship Game since winning the franchise's fifth Super Bowl title and won the 1995 season.
Having agreed to a three-year contract with the Seahawks, Lawrence signed the biggest contract in club history six years later, Dallas' second draft pick in 2013, after consecutive seasons with double-digit bags.
Lawrence didn't have more than 6.5 sacks after signing a big deal, but the Cowboys reached four rounds in 11 seasons. He said the Cowboys didn't offer him a deal this offseason, but his deal with the Seahawks could be worth $42 million.
The 32-year-old was limited to four games with a sprained foot in 2024, missing at least half a season in two of the past four years, but early in his career he made four Pro Bowls.

With Parsons entering the final year of his rookie contract, the Cowboys could be on the verge of making him the highest-paid non-all side in the NFL. Cleveland's defensive side Miles Garrett won that title with an expansion average of $40 million per season.
