Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign DE Dante Fowler

[Bunston10]

Decent rotational player. 10.5 sacks is excellent. Welcome back Dante.

Defensive line depth is growing and being noticed now.

One year deals for everyone!!!

Why is every single signing for 1 year ? They're going to have 20-25 UFAs next year. More headaches.

Might be because he's already 30 years old.

Team commitment element. This team now has to come together...in an aggressive way.

 

[Whyjerry]

Another damn 1 year deal.

Finally a FA coming in that can actually play. Not cheap, but Dallas needs help on the D-Line.

Sammy Williams is likely a bust but you never know.

I don't put a price tag on a football player's heart.

Me either. Maybe the internal light has come on for him and the injury gave him time to step back , think. Maybe he's a different guy. I hope. He has flashed.

Sammy Williams is likely a bust but you never know.

Having a guy like Fowler on the team should help him.

 

[Mr_437]

Dante n Micah bring major heat off the Edge in passing situations...good deal.

I am pretty sure I heard that by doing that, they are setting themselves up for comp picks if they do not resign them. a bit complicated so someone here might know how it works. but if they like them and what they did on the field, then resign them and call it a success.

Easily the best FA signing by Cowboys, imo ... i am actually quite surprised that as much cap space as Wash has,
and as very productive as the 10 sack Fowler was in '24 for Commandoes, that they could not re-sign him.

Their Loss, Our gain. we really needed legit pass rushers among our DL front. That really eases the urge
and pressure of depending strictly upon an ACL recovering Sam Williams to aid Parsons.

I'm confused as to when this team will focus on the run side of things instead of the pass rush side. I don't dislike any of the signings in and of themselves (although I'm hoping $8M for Fowler includes some incentives) but every defensive guy so far has been better in pass/pass rush situations than on run downs IIRC.

This also protects us if Sam Williams gets himself suspended or hurt again

Hopefully in the draft. Deep for DLine. We need a true beast in the middle

 

[baltcowboy]

I'm surprised Quinn let him walk........maybe he told him he would rather come back with a better chance to start.

Washington is probably going to get the Cincinnati pass rusher would be my guess.

 

[baltcowboy]

I like our edge pass rushers but we need a rusher up the middle in the worst way possible.

 

[EPL0c0]

Quality depth is a luxury in the NFL

Fowler will be 31. Good depth.

 

[plymkr]

Nice, good signing, good move. Exciting

 

[Coogiguy03]

You called that he is angry???

I called the signing, and he's angry for how he's been treated on the market
