The Seattle Seahawks are signing veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year contract worth up to $5 million, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Fowler, who was originally the No. 3 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, is now set to enter his 12th season in the league. The veteran pass rusher brings a wealth of experience to the Seahawks defense as they look to strengthen their front seven. The agreement was negotiated by agents Sean Kiernan and Tom Povinelli of Athletes First.
Throughout his career, Fowler has proven to be a productive presence on the edge. Joining Seattle on a one-year deal provides the team with a proven veteran rotation piece as they prepare for the upcoming campaign. This move marks another step in the Seahawks' efforts to bolster their defensive depth with established NFL talent. Further details regarding the incentives in the $5 million package have not yet been released.
