Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign DE Dante Fowler

[CWR]

Who? Fowler? Maybe he gets more reps, but I think our run-down ends are Kneeland and Turner, so he'll come in on passing downs. It will be interesting to see how we deploy Parsons, Fowler and Williams. Not all three can play end at the same time. At this point, though, I don't know how many reps Williams is going to deserve.

I can't imagine Turner starting anywhere. Our starting DEs will be Micha and whoever between Sam Williams, Kneeland, Fowler.

Fowler isn't a run stopper but I'd put him in the mix for starters reps because of his pay alone. I have no idea what to expect of Sam Williams, or how to project Kneelands growth.

Maybe its Parsons and Kneeland, but I think at Fowlers contract he's going to be on the field a lot.

But you were promoting his 10.5 sacks ..... I just asked if he was not good enough 2 years ago ...... did any of those guys you mentioned have 10.5 sacks other than Parsons?

I was commenting on the randomness of this front office ...... their plans change on the whim of a narcissistic GM and Owner who thinks he is the smartest football mind in the room.

I mean, he brought back Zeke. I'm not arguing that.

Dante Fowler, who was with the Cowboys in 2022 and 2023, re-joined the team on a one-year deal worth $8 million.

Not only is this significant since Fowler just recorded 10.5 sacks for the Washington Commanders in 2024, but it was also the first time since 2015 that the Cowboys signed an outside free agent for more than $6 million.

He had those guys before. I don't mind the signing at all. Our DEs are Parsons, Kneeland, Fowler, Williams and Turner.

DT still needs some work with Mazi, Odighizuwa, Thomas and Rogers.

DT definitely still needs work. I like this signing because he’s a vet, on a one year deal and is angry. I’m glad this one is on a 1 year deal because if he sucks then see you later after the season. We need Williams and Kneeland to stay healthy and I feel our DEs are solid.

But I’m really hoping we sign or draft another DT. Mazi is a bust and we need help there. Osa won’t be able to hold the fort without help.

Before we forget, Dante is 30 and clearly stopgap. I dunna know but is he for the rebuild/and or does Yoda have a rationale that makes Dante valuable.
