The Seahawks continued their busy offseason on Wednesday.
Seattle is about to sign defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence on a three-year, $42 million contract, based on multiple reports.
The deal includes $18 million guaranteed, NFL Network reported.
Lawrence spent his first 11 years within the league with the Cowboys after being a second-round selection within the 2014 draft.
It was a formidable run in Dallas that included 4 Pro Bowl appearances and back-to-back double-digit sack seasons in 2017 and ’18.
For the reason that 2018 season, he’s recorded 154 pressures.
Lawrence was off to a hot start in 2024 with three sacks and 14 tackles before suffering a foot injury against the Giants in Week 4.
He didn’t play the remaining of the seasons because 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 latest signal-caller in Sam Darnold.
In addition they made sweeping changes to their receiving room, trading DK Metcalf to the Steelers and releasing Tyler Lockett.
