Should the Cowboys consider DeMarcus Lawrence for the Ring of Honor?
A few weeks ago DeMarcus Lawrence left the Dallas Cowboys in free agency for the Seattle Seahawks. Leaving one team for another is quite normal.
What made that situation stand out (to put it lightly) was how Lawrence commented about the team on his departure. He said in an interview in Seattle that Dallas would never win the Super Bowl and then had a back and forth with Micah Parsons on social media.
It is possible that the whole situation impacted how you view DeMarcus Lawrence and his place in franchise history. Interestingly, while making some comments on Tuesday at the NFL’s owner meetings, Jerry Jones was asked about the entire saga with Lawrence.
Jerry took the high road (for real) and praised Lawrence which is obviously the right move. What’s more is that he said that none of how it all went on will have any influence on his “desire” to put Tank in the team’s Ring of Honor.
When asked about this, Jerry Jones was effusive in praise for DeMarcus Lawrence and the leadership he gave Cowboys. Said these comments have “zero” influence on his desire to put DeMarcus in Cowboys Ring of Honor https://t.co/ILyxOPAkON

The Ring of Honor?!
Let me be clear that I mean absolutely zero disrespect to Lawrence, but that kind of took me by surprise. Jimmy Johnson’s situation was clearly unique, but for the most part the people who have joined the team’s Ring of Honor have felt very obvious from the time they left the team.
Zack Martin stands as a very possible option, but do we think that Lawrence does? They entered the NFL together as a part of the team’s draft class in 2014, but again I don’t know that the thought of the latter ever joining the Ring of Honor ever legitimately entered my mind.
