The Seattle Seahawks reeled in veteran defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence on Wednesday with a three-year deal worth a reported $42 million.

The deal for the longtime Dallas Cowboys standout includes $18 million guaranteed.

Seattle's defensive coordinator is Aden Durde, Dallas' defensive line coach from 2021-23.

The four-time Pro Bowler has 61.5 sacks in 11 seasons, all with the Cowboys.

Lawrence, who turns 33 next month, was limited to four games last season due to a sprained right foot. He had 14 tackles and three sacks.

The 6-foot-3, 265-pound lineman had 25 sacks across a two-season period earlier in his career -- 14.5 in 2017 and 10.5 in 2018. He was an All-Pro second-team choice in 2017.

Lawrence has 450 tackles, including 97 for losses, in 141 regular-season games (123 starts). He has compiled 21 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries and two interceptions.

A former college star at Boise State, Lawrence was a second-round pick by the Cowboys in 2014.
