Dante Fowler Jr. was a shining light among the Washington Commanders' edge rushers last season en route to 10.5 sacks. However, that was not enough for general manager Adam Peters to give him another deal.
And his first game for the Dallas Cowboys showed exactly why.
Fowler felt he deserved more money than the Commanders were willing to pay. The Cowboys were only too willing to oblige, handing the former Florida standout a one-year, $6 million deal with a $3 million signing bonus and $5 million guaranteed. This returned him to Dallas after one season in Washington, and a bigger role than anticipated was all but confirmed once owner/general manager Jerry Jones inexplicably traded All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.
