I\u2019ve got the newborn and a 1-year-old, so I can\u2019t leave mom with all those responsibilities. She knows I\u2019ll be back here for the season, and the coaching staff knows my game plan. We\u2019re still working. I\u2019m just not able to be here on a day-to-day basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence got his first Super Bowl in his first season in Seattle after 11 seasons in Dallas. He also earned his fifth Pro Bowl nod, so the 34-year-old didn\u2019t need much time to decide on playing a 13th season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing able to reach the top and understanding that my body still has more to give, I still have more to give,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cAnd also, I had the most fun I\u2019ve ever had playing football last year. So just taking all of that into consideration, knowing what I\u2019d be leaving behind, the chances [of retirement] were very slim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence is entering the second season of the three-year, $42 million contract he signed in the 2025 offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seahawks edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence did not attend the start of the team\u2019s voluntary offseason workouts until this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-671270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
