**[DeMarcus Lawrence](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LawrDe00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2026-08-14_pfr)** considered retirement after the Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX-winning campaign, but he decided to come back for a second Seahawks slate. Year 2 in Seattle is now set to be the veteran defensive end’s last.
The 13th-year veteran [informed Yahoo’s Jori Epstein](https://x.com/JoriEpstein/status/2088366168495280430) he intends to retire after this season. Lawrence is tied to a three-year, $32.5MM contract. Lawrence secured a partial salary guarantee for 2027 at signing; $5MM of his $8.15MM paragraph 5 figure is locked in. The rest becomes guaranteed, due to Lawrence’s vested-vet status, just before Week 1.
