Veteran Dante Fowler Jr. may be in trouble as young pass rushers emerge

Dante Fowler Jr. is set to return to the Dallas Cowboys in 2023 after a one-year trial last season earned him a new contract. But with some rookie talent emerging over the last month, could the veteran be up against the numbers at final cuts?

Fowler’s experience with Dan Quinn in Atlanta led him to Dallas last season as part of their pass-rushing rotation. He chipped in six sacks, trying DeMarcus Lawrence for third on the team. Considering he only played on 30% of the defensive snaps, compared to around 60% for Lawrence and 47% for Dorance Armstrong, Fowler provided excellent value when called upon.
