"While Fowler had never lived up to the hype he had as the number three overall pick back in 2015, the veteran was a more than capable pass rusher who could make a big impact in Dallas' pass rush group. Coming off a season in which he registered 44 total pressures and 11 sacks, both the second-highest of his career, expectations were high for Fowler's return to Dallas."
"As a whole, the Cowboys' pass rush group was extremely underwhelming last season, and Fowler's disappointing year played a big part in the overall struggles of the group. When Dallas brought Fowler back, they expected him to be a similar player to what he was during his first stint in Dallas, where he totaled 66 total pressures and 11 sacks in 429 pass rush snaps. The veteran did not get close to that level of production last season."
Dante Fowler rejoined Dallas on a one-year, $6 million deal after a strong 2024 with Washington. In 2025 he played 17 games and registered 30 total pressures, 20 QB hurries, 7 QB hits, 4 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks with a 72.8 pass-rush grade. The 31-year-old experienced steep declines in pass-rush metrics and posted career lows in pressures, hurries, and sacks. Fowler's downturn contributed to an underwhelming Cowboys pass rush overall. His impending free agency leaves his return uncertain despite ongoing league demand for pass-rush help.
