Source: Pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr., Cowboys reach deal

FRISCO, Texas -- Having lost veteran DeMarcus Lawrence to the Seattle Seahawks, the Dallas Cowboys turned to a familiar face in agreeing to a one-year deal with pass rusher Dante Fowler, according to a source.

Fowler played for the Cowboys in 2022 and '23 before leaving with former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to the Washington Commanders last year and putting up 10.5 sacks.

Fowler's deal is worth $6 million and can move to $8 million based on incentives.

Fowler is the third defensive lineman the Cowboys have added in free agency, joining Solomon Thomas and Payton Turner.
