Per the official transaction wire, veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler visited the Seahawks. Fowler was most recently with the Dallas Cowboys for a second time, playing in all regular season games and recording three sacks and 30 pressures in a rotational role. Fowler was drafted third overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars back in the 2015 NFL Draft, staying local as a former Florida Gator.
An ACL tear during rookie mini-camp ended his season in an instant, and while he was a key part of Jacksonville’s elite 2017 defense that propelled an unlikely AFC Championship Game run, he was still dealt to the Los Angeles Rams midway through 2018. His career-high 11. 5 sacks came with the Rams in 2019, after which he joined Dan Quinn’s Atlanta Falcons on a sizeable $16 million/year free agent contract.
Fowler followed Quinn to Dallas in 2022, recording six sacks in his first season with the Cowboys. After his first Cowboys stint, Fowler signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders in 2024, reuniting with Dan Quinn and posting 10. 5 sacks en route to the NFC Championship Game.
