DeMarcus Lawrence Unhappy at Seattle Seahawks

Seattle, WA – June 3, 2025

In a surprising turn of events, former Dallas Cowboys star DeMarcus Lawrence is reportedly dissatisfied with his situation at the Seattle Seahawks, just months after signing a three-year, $42 million contract with the team. Sources close to the organization revealed to local media that the four-time Pro Bowl defensive end is struggling to adapt to his new system and role within the team.

Lawrence, 33, joined the Seahawks in March 2025 after 11 seasons with the Cowboys, where he amassed 61.5 sacks and established himself as a cornerstone of their defense. His move to Seattle was driven by a belief that he had a better chance to win a Super Bowl, a goal he publicly stated was unattainable if he stayed in Dallas. However, sources indicate Lawrence is frustrated with how he’s being utilized in head coach Mike Macdonald’s defensive scheme.

A source close to the team told The Seattle Times, “DeMarcus expected to be the focal point of the defense, but he’s currently in a rotational role alongside Boye Mafe, Uchenna Nwosu, and Derick Hall. He feels underutilized given his experience and track record.” Lawrence, who played only four games in the 2024 season due to a foot injury, had hoped a fresh start in Seattle would help him regain his elite form. Yet, recent OTA sessions suggest he’s struggling to mesh with Macdonald’s complex defensive approach, which differs significantly from the system he thrived in under defensive coordinator Aden Durde in Dallas.

Fan reactions on X are mixed. One user posted, “Lawrence unhappy? He just got here! Seahawks need to let him play freer.” Another expressed skepticism: “Maybe he’s regretting leaving Dallas. Seattle’s not an easy place to shine right away.”

Despite Lawrence’s contract with the Seahawks including $18 million in guaranteed money, his lack of integration could pose larger issues for the team. Seattle’s defense, while markedly improved under Macdonald, recorded only 18 takeaways in the 2024 season, and they expected Lawrence to be a key piece in bolstering their pass-rushing pressure.

No official statement has been issued by Lawrence or the Seahawks regarding these reports. However, Macdonald previously praised Lawrence at a March press conference, calling him “a violent, inspiring player.” The question now is whether the Seahawks can adjust Lawrence’s role to maximize his abilities or if this discontent will lead to greater tension as the season approaches.

Seahawks fans are eagerly awaiting further updates as OTAs continue, hoping that Lawrence, with his experience and talent, can find his footing and contribute to the team’s playoff aspirations in 2025.

Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
