Seahawks signing DeMarcus Lawrence to $42 million deal in NFL free agency bombshell

Seahawks signing DeMarcus Lawrence to  million deal in NFL free agency bombshell

The Seahawks continued their busy offseason on Wednesday.

Seattle is set to sign defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence on a three-year, $42 million contract, according to multiple reports.

The deal includes $18 million guaranteed, NFL Network reported.

Lawrence spent his first 11 years in the league with the Cowboys after being a second-round selection in the 2014 draft.

It was an impressive run in Dallas that included four Pro Bowl appearances and back-to-back double-digit sack seasons in 2017 and ’18.

Since the 2018 season, he’s recorded 154 pressures.

Lawrence was off to a H๏τ start in 2024 with three sacks and 14 tackles before suffering a foot injury against the Giants in Week 4.

He did not play the rest of the seasons as the injury-riddled Cowboys finished 7-10 and missed the playoffs.

Overall, he racked up 61.5 sacks with 450 tackles during his long tenure with Dallas.

The move for the 32-year-old Lawrence essentially fills the void for Dre’Mont Jones, who was released last week.

Seattle has already retained linebacker Ernest Jones IV and defensive tackle Jarran Reed.

It’s been a busy past few days for Seattle, which traded quarterback Geno Smith to the Raiders last week and later agreed to a three-year, $100.5 million contract with a new signal-caller in Sam Darnold.

They also made sweeping changes to their receiving room, trading DK Metcalf to the Steelers and releasing Tyler Lockett.
