Key points include Fowler’s 2025 season with the Cowboys, where he appeared in all 17 games and started 11, and his recent peak performance of 10.5 sacks from a previous season with Washington. The Seahawks, who traded or maneuvered on the draft board and prioritized defense, would add Fowler to a rotation that could benefit from his veteran pass-rushing experience. Fowler previously signed a substantial contract with the Falcons in 2020, but current reports frame him as a potential one-year, value-driven fit for Seattle.
In the 2026 draft, Seattle focused on strengthening the defense, selecting five defenders across seven picks after starting with four, signaling a continued emphasis on defensive improvements alongside any potential Fowler acquisition.
Key takeaways:
– Seahawks pursuing veteran pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr. with an expected signing after compensatory pick deadline.
– Fowler’s 2025 season: 17 games, 11 starts with the Cowboys; previously recorded 10.5 sacks in a standout year.
– Team-friendly, likely one-year deal anticipated to bolster Seattle’s pass rush and defensive depth in 2026.
