Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign DE Dante Fowler

[NotaCowboysFan]

Wasn’t he one of those players who had a parting shot comment about management when he left last season?
Guess money over pride eh?

Yes to both

 

[cowboyec]

love getting him back.
he's forgiven...welcome home.
now go hunt qb's.
go cowboys.

 

[CWR]

Yeah .......he has really saved his career. Not the highly drafted player but a consistent dependable rotation.

Dude had 10.5 sacks last year? I had no idea he did so well.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Fowler, Williams, Kneeland and Lawson would be a solid rotation, leaving Parsons able to roam. Any word on Lawson?

2nd most in his career (11.5 ---2019 )

Shocked he didn’t get more with how the league values sacks.

I think the analytics community is bringing down the sack values. If the pressure rates aren't there to support the odds of them duplicating the sack totals the big pay day wont be as much. A few years ago Fowler probably gets a 3 year deal after a 10+ sack season. Now the guys like OSA can get paid without the sack totals while Fowler has to settle for a lower tier deal. Sacks are just viewed as too volatile and random to pay guys on

I doubt he's back after this.

I doubt he’s back since they signed Turner as well

 

[ChronicCowboy]

I doubt he's back after this.

Hopefully Turner can fill out the rotation. I guess Wheat has a chance. I seriously doubt they go D-line in the first two rounds.

And because I'm known as a beacon of positivity, after perusing the Commanders forum, I'm reading a consensus of fans their that are truly sad to see him go.

I can't remember the last time we've gotten a FA that was actually missed by his former teams fans

That's some positivity for yo ashes

The last time was when they signed Jack Sanborn 2 days ago.

 

[Kolemmitt]

Wow. I like this signing. Not a starter, but he will hunt QBs.

 

[CCBoy]

He's not resigned yet and helped last season. Lawson would still be good depth at the line of scrimmage.

 

[Captain43Crash]

He made some of the dumbest penalties when playing for us! Very seldom impacted the game.

Not a fan of this signing!

Problem is you’re running out of space on the roster for edge guys

Did you watch him last year? Incredible year!!!

Competition is a good thing.

 

[thunderpimp91]

Competition is a good thing.

Yeah but signing Lawson isn’t really competition though. He had a pretty good yeah and likely commands guaranteed money on the open market. Those guys are typically penciled onto the final 53 going into camp.

 

[Bullflop]

Congrats to Jerry & Stephen for finally parting with some of that do-re-mi that you guys have!

Is this the long-awaited birth of the newfound Big Spenders From Big D? Well, it's about time!

 

[Stash]

Say his name - Robert Jones.

These are Super Bowl moves, folks.

C'mon, guys. Positive reinforcement.

Every sack impacts a game. Every forced fumble and tackle for loss impacts a game.
