The Atlanta Falcons are reportedly adding a major piece to their pass rush by signing Dante Fowler Jr, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com:

Atlanta will be Fowler's third career team after the Jacksonville Jaguars selected him with the No. 3 overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft out of the University of Florida. While he tore his ACL and missed his rookie season, he flashed his immense potential by 2017 with eight sacks while helping lead a stifling defense to the AFC Championship Game.

It appeared as if he would be a defensive anchor for the Jaguars for years to come, but that quickly changed.
