The Seattle Seahawks are signing veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, a source told the NFL Network on Tuesday.
Fowler, 31, addresses the Super Bowl champions’ last remaining need. They lost Boye Mafe in free agency and had yet to sign anyone to replace him, nor did they take an edge rusher with any of their eight selections in last month’s NFL draft.
Fowler made a free agent visit with Seattle before the draft. As of the Monday after the draft, free agent signings no longer count against their new team’s formula for compensatory picks in 2027; OverTheCap.com projects the Seahawks to receive four.
