Staying in Dallas
Published: 2023-03-21
Fowler re-signed with the Cowboys on a one-year deal Tuesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Fowler will stay in Dallas for next season after registering 27 tackles (22 solo) and six sacks last year despite playing just 329 defensive snaps, the second-lowest mark of his career. The 28-year-old served as a rotational pass rusher behind DeMarcus Lawrence, Dorance Armstrong and Micah Parsons in 2022 and will likely have a similar role for the upcoming campaign.

Fowler recorded 27 tackles (22 solo), including six sacks, over 17 regular-season games in 2022. He added two passes defended and two forced fumbles.
The 28-year-old was the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, but Fowler has rarely looked the part during his time in the league. He seemed more comfortable in a complementary role during his first year with Dallas, letting Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence grab the headlines while he posted the third-highest sack total of his career. Fowler will hit free agency again this offseason after playing on a one-year, $3.0 million contract in 2022, but with defensive coordinator Dan Quinn returning to the Cowboys, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the defensive end also re-sign, albeit perhaps with a modest raise.
