When DeMarcus Lawrence signed with the Seahawks in March, the 12th-year veteran made it known that, despite what some people might have thought, he had “a lot more in the tank, so there’s isn’t any need to stop now.”
He also said he came to Seattle to compete for a Super Bowl, saying the Seahawks had the pieces in place to chase that goal that eluded him in his 11 seasons in Dallas.
And while the Seahawks still have work to do to reach that ultimate goal, things are going about as well as Lawrence possibly could have drawn it up back in March when he made that decision to sign with Seattle.
“I expected exactly what I said, to be a part of a Super Bowl team,” said Lawrence, who this week was named a Pro Bowler for the fifth time in his career. “The Lord partnered with my words; everything is coming to fruition. I’m excited about the journey, excited to be here, and got to continue to fight the good fight.”
While the Seahawks were a good team in their first year under Mike Macdonald, barely missing the playoffs with a 10-7 record, they were hardly considered Super Bowl favorites heading into 2025, at least not to those outside of the building, but Lawrence saw something special when he looked at Seattle as a possible free-agent destination.
“All the measurables were there,” Lawrence said. “We’ve got a great head coach, defensive minded head coach, a stacked defense, and were just missing a couple of key weapons, a quarterback, me—no, I’m just playing—but, yeah, I saw all the weapons that Seattle had, and I just wanted to be a part of a group like that.”
