Report: Seahawks land Dante Fowler on 1-year deal

Veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. is signing a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with the Seattle Seahawks, NFL Network reported on Tuesday.

Fowler serves as the Seahawks' answer to losing Boye Mafe to the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency. Seattle did not select an edge rusher during the 2026 NFL Draft.

Fowler, who turns 32 in August, visited the Seahawks prior to the draft. He'll see a familiar face in Seattle defensive coordinator Aden Durde, who was an assistant in Atlanta and Dallas.

Fowler recorded 15 tackles and three sacks in 17 games (11 starts) with the Cowboys in 2025.

He has 294 tackles, 58.5 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, an interception and five fumble recoveries in 159 career games (58 starts) with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2016-18), Los Angeles Rams (2018-19), Falcons (2020-21), Washington Commanders (2024) and Cowboys (2022-23, 2025). He was selected by the Jaguars with the third overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft.
