Dante Fowler: Everything you need to know

The Seahawks signed Fowler to a one-year contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The deal is worth up to $5 million. Fowler will turn 32 years old later this summer and is headed into his 12th season out of the University of Florida. He appeared in all 17 regular-season games with the Cowboys last season, making 11 starts, but recorded just 3.0 sacks as a sub-package edge rusher while playing 32 percent of the defensive snaps. In Seattle, he'll provide depth behind DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall.

Fowler registered 15 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, along with three defensed passes over 17 games during the 2025 season. After notching 10.5 sacks with Washington in 2024, Dallas signed Fowler in the hope that he could bolster the team's pass rush. However, the Florida product managed just 3.0 sacks despite playing in all 17 games for the fourth straight campaign. Fowler is slated to be a free agent, as he was playing last season on a one-year contract.

Fowler (shoulder) returned in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. Fowler sustained a shoulder injury on the opening drive of the game, but he was cleared to return and was out on the field late in the second frame. He has one solo tackle through the first half of Monday's game.
