Lawrence Returns to Seahawks, Anchors Defense

0:00On April 2nd, Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald just confirmed that star defensive tackle to Marcus Lawrence is set to return next season. The 33-year-old has two years left on his contract after a dominant year in Seattle that helped fuel the league's top defense. Lawrence bounced back big time, following an injury-plague stint with the Dallas Cowboys. He racked up six sacks in the regular season, added two more in the playoffs, and scored two fumble return touchdowns, including against the Arizona Cardinals. That performance landed him as fifth pro-bow nod and played a huge role in Seattle's first Super Bowl victory. Right after the win, Lawrence celebrated the birth of his child, making it a storybook finish to the year. His old Cowboys teammate, Jonathan Hankins, backed it up, telling fans that Tank still has plenty left to give. McDonald echoed that, saying Lawrence has the right to decide, but plans point to him suiting up again. Meanwhile, with Ed rusher boy A Maffe heading to the Cincinnati Bengals in Free Agency, the team looked at options but held off.
