In the NFL, there is simply no such thing as too much pass rush depth. The Seattle Seahawks were an absolute force of nature up front, with Leonard Williams, DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu and Byron Murphy II terrorizing opposing linemen on an every-down basis. The addition of Lawrence, who turned back the clock for a resurgent season, helped push this unit over the top. Perhaps the Seahawks could be adding another former Cowboys defensive end.
On Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Seahawks hosted Dante Fowler for a free agent visit. Fowler, who will be entering his 11th season in the NFL should he suit up this fall, just finished playing on a one-year deal with the Cowboys.
Fowler was originally the No. 3 overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2015 NFL draft, and he has bounced around the league over the past decade. He was eventually traded to the Los Angeles Rams in 2018 where he participated in their Super Bowl LIII loss to the New England Patriots. After a season and a half in LA, Fowler spent two years with the Atlanta Falcons, two years with the Dallas Cowboys, one year with the Washington Commanders, and back to the Cowboys in 2025.
He recorded 15 total tackles and three sacks in all 17 games played for Dallas last year, but is also one year removed from a 10.5 sack campaign with the Commanders. From my estimation, there is still plenty of gas left in the tank for Fowler, especially in a rotational role. Seattle lost Boye Mafe to the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency, and Fowler would be one of the better options to replace him with.
Additionally, Fowler played for two years under Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde, who was Dallas' defensive line coach. And of course, he is familiar with former teammate DeMarcus Lawrence.
