While most of the NFL world has been focused on free agency, the emerging feud betweenMicah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence has also garnered plenty of attention.
Parsons remains a Dallas Cowboys player, but Lawrence has moved on and joined the the Seattle Seahawks after signing a three-year, $42 million contract.
Mighty! Micah Parsons channels his inner beast with real-life lion
Despite spending several seasons together, tensions came to a head on Friday night when a Seahawks fan posted a video of Lawrence giving an interview for his new team.
“Change of scenery is always good, but Dallas is my home,” Lawrence told Hawk Blogger. “Made my home there, my family lives there. I’m forever gonna be there, but I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there. So, yeah. We here.”
The move is a big change for Lawrence, who spent the first 11 years of his career in Dallas and was named to the Pro Bowl four times.
Although Lawrence made it clear Dallas is his home, his comments didn’t sit well with Parsons, who has been with the Cowboys since 2021.
“This what rejection and envy look like,” said Parsons. “This some clown [expletive].”
Things escalated further when Lawrence took aim at Parsons’ priorities, as the Cowboys last won a Super Bowl back in 1995/96.
“Calling me a clown won’t change the fact that I told the truth,” Lawrence wrote. “Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn’t have left.”
Cowboys legend weighs in
This back and forth between two players who have been key figures for the Cowboys hasn’t gone down well with Drew Pearson.
The legendary Cowboys receiver spoke with TMZ Sports about the matter, and he stated he wished the two would air their dirty laundry away from social media.
“Too much social media!” said Pearson with his head in his hands, adding that he dealt with similar problems when he was a player – but that things were sorted out behind closed doors.
“Take care of your business on the field, and the other guys will follow suit,” Pearson said about Parsons, encouraging the pass rusher to keep his focus on the field.
