Overview

  • NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday that Fowler agreed to a one-year Seahawks deal worth up to $5 million.
  • Seattle turned to a veteran pass rusher after passing on edge help in the draft and losing Boye Mafe to the Bengals in free agency.
  • Fowler reunites with defensive coordinator Aden Durde, who coached him in Dallas and Atlanta, after a pre-draft visit to Seattle.
  • The post–April 27 timing means the signing does not count in the NFL’s compensatory-pick formula, preserving Seattle’s expected extra picks.
  • The 31-year-old former No. 3 pick has 58.5 career sacks and recent swing in output, with 10.5 sacks in 2024 and three in 2025, and he projects as a rotational piece with DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall.
