Dante Fowler returns to Dallas Cowboys on one-year deal

Dante Fowler is returning to the Dallas Cowboys after a year with the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys signed the pass-rusher to a one-year deal worth $6 million, which could increase to $8 million with incentives. Fowler previously played for the Cowboys in 2022 and 2023 before joining Washington, where he recorded 10.5 sacks last season. He is the third defensive lineman added by the Cowboys in free agency. This signing comes amid ongoing contract discussions with star linebacker Micah Parsons, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Parsons has expressed sadness over the departure of former coach Mike McCarthy.
