Seahawks Land Veteran Edge Rusher Dante Fowler

0:00On April 28th, Seahawks are close to landing veteran edge-rusher Dante Fowler Jr. after the NFL draft. They're in talks for weeks, but holding off into the compensatory pick formula locks in, smart move to protect their assets. Fowler's a former top three draft pick with 10 years in the league, ready to contribute day one without needing a ramp up. Disfits perfectly into head coach Mike McDonald's scheme. At 261 pounds, Fowler's that big body, who stuffs the run, but brings speed rush heat, especially on third downs. McDonald's got a track record turning older edges into stars, like Jadevian Clowney's 2023 bounce back in Baltimore in DeMarcus. Lawrence's 2025 push that fueled Seattle Super Bowl run. Fans and analysts see this as a low-cost win, filling the gap left by boy A-Mafe without trading picks or big money. It adds pro-level savvy to a group that's young and talented, but needs reliability in the trenches. Impacts huge for a

1:00pass rush that could dominate if everyone gels. They also scooped up two undrafted free agents today, with draftable grades, Aiden Hubbard, and Marvin Jones Jr. These guys could pop up from the practice squad during the long season, giving real depth options. Now the edge-room looks twice as stack post-straft, blending Fowler's leadership with young upside behind Derrick Hall, DeMarcus Lawrence, Ucena, Nuosu, and Jared Ivy. Competition's fierce, and Seattle set to roll into the camp strong.
