Seattle Seahawks Sign Veteran Pass Rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to One-Year Deal The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a one-year contract with former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Dante Fowler Jr., adding experience to their edge-rushing rotation. Fowler, who has played under Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde, brings a decade of NFL experience and 58.5 career sacks to the team. The Seattle Seahawks are poised to bolster their defensive line by signing former Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year contract valued at up to $5 million, as confirmed by a source to FOX 13 Seattle on Monday. The agreement, initially reported by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, had been anticipated since Fowler's visit to Seattle last month. The Seahawks sought a replacement for Boye Mafe, who departed for the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency earlier this year. Fowler's familiarity with Seattle defensive coordinator Aden Durde, having worked with him in both Dallas and Atlanta, as well as his prior partnership with edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence on the Cowboys, makes him a strategic addition.The Seahawks' decision to forgo drafting an edge rusher in the recent NFL Draft further highlighted their need for experienced depth at the position. With the draft concluded, Fowler's signing will not impact the team's compensatory draft pick calculations, potentially adding four extra selections for Seattle next season. Fowler, now 31, brings a decade of NFL experience, having played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, and Washington Commanders.Over 159 career games and 58 starts, he has amassed 58.5 sacks, demonstrating consistent durability with no missed games in the past four years and 11 starts in his most recent season with Dallas. In Seattle, Fowler is expected to join Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu, and Derick Hall in a rotational edge-rushing unit, with second-year players Connor O'Toole and Jared Ivey also likely to contribute more this season.Meanwhile, the Seahawks are wrapping up their rookie minicamp this weekend, having recently introduced their first-round draft pick, running back Jadarian Price, ahead of the event. The team also doubled their selections in the NFL Draft, adding eight new players to their roster.For the latest local news, weather, and sports updates in Seattle, fans can sign up for the daily FOX Seattle Newsletter or download the FOX LOCAL app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, for live coverage and top stories
