Update:

Dallas Cowboys fans were left heartbroken when long-time defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence signed with the Seattle Seahawks after 11 seasons in Dallas.

To make matters even worse, Lawrence made some comments that, while not untrue, stung.

“Dallas is my home. I made my home there, my family lives there, and I’m forever going to be there, but I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there,” Lawrence said after signing with Seattle.

That led to a little feud between he and Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons, who had some back-and-forth comments to each other on social media.

But on Saturday, Lawrence softened the blow a little bit with a heartfelt message to Cowboys fans on social media.

“I have had the honor and privilege to wear the star and call myself a Dallas Cowboy for my entire NFL career. There has never been a moment since the day Jerry Jones called to draft me that I haven’t loved every person in the Dallas community, every fan that supports the Cowboys across the world, and every player, coach and staff member of that incredible organization."

“I never truly believed that the day would come when I would go and sign with another team. We had always hoped that my family and I would get to finish our careers as Cowboys. Sadly it just wasn’t meant to be. A new chapter begins. I leave for Seattle with excitement, the same passion for the game I love, and determination to prove my way of football to a new organization and fan base. I can’t wait to play for the 12s and lead the Seahawks to victory. This is not the end of my life as a Dallas Cowboy or North Texas resident but it is a new beginning and chapter for me and my family. I hope you hold us in your prayers and wish us well on our next journey, and we will see you soon. 90 out!”
