The Seattle Seahawks made a bunch of changes to the offense this offseason, but not much to the defense. General manager John Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald decided that the defense performed well enough in 2024 to bring nearly everyone back. Plus, add another veteran.
That is what Seattle did when signing edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence from the Dallas Cowboys. The deal is for three years and a maximum of $42 million, which seemed like a lot for a player who is already 33 years old. But the realities of the deal are more understandable.
