Report: Seahawks Land Dante Fowler on 1-Year Deal
Fowler brings 58.5 career sacks to Seattle after Boye Mafe left in free agency, and he had 10.5 sacks for Washington in 2024.
- On Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks agreed to sign veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year contract worth up to $5 million, addressing pass-rush depth following Boye Mafe's departure to the Cincinnati Bengals.
- Fowler, the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft by Jacksonville, joins Seattle as his sixth team after recording 3.0 sacks in 17 games for the Dallas Cowboys last season.
- Pro Football Focus graded the 31-year-old at 77.6, his highest mark in a 10-year career, after he generated 30 pressures, including three sacks, seven hits, and 20 hurries on 248 pass-rush snaps.
- The signing bolsters Seattle's edge rotation alongside DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu, and Derick Hall, bringing the Seahawks' roster to 91 players as president of football operations John Schneider had indicated.
- Familiarity with defensive coordinator Aden Durde, who previously coached Fowler at Dallas and Atlanta, likely influenced the move as he joins an inexperienced group of second-year edge rushers.
