Fowler spent last season with the Commanders under Dan Quinn, the DC in Dallas during Fowler’s first stint with the Cowboys.

Two people with knowledge of the deal tell The Associated Press that the Dallas Cowboys are turning to a familiar face to boost their pass rush by agreeing with free agent Dante Fowler on a one-year contract worth up to $8 million.

Although Fowler has played for Dan Quinn on three teams, the two will separate once again. Fowler is going back to the Cowboys, per his agency. The veteran defensive end will return to Dallas on a one-year deal worth up to $8M, NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo reports.
