DeMarcus Lawrence, a cornerstone of the Dallas Cowboys, expresses his desire to remain with the team as free agency approaches. After an injury-plagued season limited him to just four games, the veteran defensive end reflected on his 11-year career with the Cowboys, where he made four Pro Bowl appearances. Despite his wish to stay in Dallas, Lawrence acknowledges that the final decision lies with the Cowboys' management. He indicated his readiness to explore other options if a deal isn't reached but emphasized his fondness for the city and its fans.

As the Cowboys look to rebound from a disappointing 7-10 season under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the organization is also in discussions about contract extensions for key players, including linebacker Micah Parsons and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa. With Lawrence's desire to contribute to the team’s resurgence, the coming weeks will be pivotal for his future in Dallas.
