The Dallas Cowboys are turning to a familiar face to boost their pass rush, agreeing with free agent Dante Fowler on a one-year contract worth up to $8 million, two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Friday.<\/p>\n

Fowler first joined the Cowboys in 2022 to reunite with Dan Quinn, his former head coach in Atlanta. The 30-year-old followed Quinn last year when Quinn took over as Washington\u2019s coach after three years as the defensive coordinator in Dallas.<\/p>\n

The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn\u2019t been announced.<\/p>\n

Fowler had 10 1\/2 sacks for the Commanders, who reached the NFC championship game before losing to Super Bowl champion Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The third overall pick by Jacksonville in 2015 had a career-high 11 1\/2 sacks with the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, the year before he joined Quinn with the Falcons.<\/p>\n

Fowler had 10 sacks total in two seasons with the Cowboys. He joins star edge rusher Micah Parsons and Sam Williams, a projected starter after missing all of last season after sustaining a season-ending knee injury in training camp.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys also signed former New York Jets defensive end Solomon Thomas in free agency. Thomas went to high school in the Dallas area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
