The Seattle Seahawks made the decision to sign veteran EDGE Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year contract earlier this week. General manager John Schneider had been looking for an experienced pass rusher this offseason. He's found a quality one in Fowler.
Head coach Mike Macdonald believes in rotating pass rushers to execute his defense. The Seahawks lost Boye Mafe to free agency. Mafe played the third-most snaps (561) among Seahawks EDGEs last year, trailing just DeMarcus Lawrence (626) and Uchenna Nwosu (583).
The Seahawks did not select a single pass rusher during the 2026 NFL Draft. With a need to replace Mafe's workload, Schneider wisely shifted attention back to the veteran market. He found a quality option in Fowler, who was teammates with Lawrence in 2022-23 with the Dallas Cowboys. Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde coached both of them in Dallas.
Pro Football Focus credited Fowler with recording 30 pressures and three sacks last season. In addition to replacing Mafe, the Seahawks should probably reduce Lawrence's workload as well. The addition of Fowler should help the Seahawks achieve both of those goals.
Fowler's familarity with Seattle's defensive scheme makes an excellent fit for Macdonald's approach.
