DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys’ four-time Pro Bowl defensive end, DeMarcus Lawrence, has signed with the Seattle Seahawks, his agents announced Wednesday.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Lawrence’s deal with the Seahawks is three years and worth up to $42 million, with $18 million guaranteed.
Lawrence has been a key contributor and leader for the Cowboys in his 11 seasons in Dallas. Over the years, he recorded 61.5 sacks, 285 solo tackles and 21 forced fumbles. He earned second-team All-Pro honors two times and was invited to the Pro Bowl four times.
The Cowboys have made several defensive moves this week to add depth at all positions. On Tuesday, they signed defensive end Payton Turner from New Orleans, but Lawrence’s departure leaves a significant hole to fill.
