Cowboys sign Commanders star pass rusher to $8 million deal in free agency

   

The Washington Commanders are saying goodbye to one of their better defenders.

According to NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo, the Dallas Cowboys are signing veteran pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year, $8 million deal in free agency.

Fowler, 30, played with the Cowboys from 2022-23 before joining Dan Quinn and the Commanders in free agency.

After a successful season with 10.5 sacks, Fowler earned a well-deserved raise and goes back to the Cowboys, where he'll look to beat some of his old Commanders teammates twice next season.
