The Dallas Cowboys are bringing back Dante Fowler, Jr. who agreed to terms on a one-year, $6 million contract. Fowler could earn up to $8 million with play time incentives and accelerators.
The move – predicted earlier this week by CowboysCountry.com’s Mike Fisher – was first reported as a done deal by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on social media.
The defensive end left the Cowboys in 2023, but will make his return in 2025.
Fowler was the third overall pick in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fowler missed his rookie campaign due to a torn ACL he sustained in a spring practice session.
He spent his first four seasons in the league with the Jaguars primarily as a pass rusher. He finished his four years with 14 total sacks.
In addition to Jacksonville and the Washington Commanders, where he played the last two seasons, Fowler also played for the Atlanta Falcons and the Los Angeles Rams.
