Cowboys sign Dante Fowler Jr. to 1-year, $8M deal

The Dallas Cowboys have re-signed edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. on a one-year contract worth up to $8 million, continuing their trend of bringing back familiar faces during free agency. Fowler, who previously played for the Cowboys from 2022 to 2023, had a standout season with the Washington Commanders last year, recording 10.5 sacks. He will join star edge rusher Micah Parsons, enhancing the Cowboys' defensive line as they prepare for the upcoming season. The Cowboys have also signed other players including former Jets defensive end Solomon Thomas and running back Miles Sanders from the Carolina Panthers. Fowler's return is seen as a key move to bolster the pass rush, especially after his successful stint with the Commanders. The team aims to maintain a strong defensive presence as they head into the new season.
