The are loading up for the 2023 season with trades for proven, high-caliber talent like wide receiver and cornerback as well as smaller, short-term depth signings like those of offensive lineman on Tuesday. However, Jerry Jones didn't stop there Tuesday, additionally re-signing defensive end to a one-year deal. The signing is the latest in the
Cowboys' best offseason in a long time. APPLYING MORE PRESSURE DE has agreed to terms to return to Dallas next season.Learn more | Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys) Fowler, who'll turn 29 in August, totaled six sacks in 2022 with the Cowboys, his best single-season total since a career-high 11.5 with the in 2019. That tied him with Pro Bowl defensive end for the third-most on the team last season behind only First-Team All-Pro linebacker ' 13.5 sacks and defensive end 8.5 sacks. The figure is even more impre sive considering Fowler played le s than a third of the team's defensive snaps, 27.2% to be exact.The 2023 campaign isn't the first time Fowler has agreed to team up with current Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Quinn recruited him to the University of Florida as their defensive coordinator/defensive line coach for the 2011 and 2012
seasons. He also helped persuade the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft to join him in the pros with the when Quinn was the team's head coach in 2020. Fowler signed a three-year, $45 million deal with Quinn and the Falcons
the first time he hit unrestricted free agency."He definitely played a huge factor in it,", per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, when asked about why he chose the Falcons. "We just built a relationship at that time. He used to always come and see me, talk to me. Everything was genuine. He talked to me about a lot of things as a man. Just over that one-year span of me being there with with him at UF, I went to his house. I met his wife. I had Thanksgiving with them."Fowler and Quinn made it
a point to maintain their relationship when Fowler began his career with the and Quinn was in Atlanta, always finding time to talk when facing each other in the preseason. "I would always get to chat with him and talk to him," Fowler said. "It is just really cool for him to be my coach again."Quinn showed his appreciation for the connection he and Fowler have developed when they had their first NFL reunion three years ago with the Falcons."More often than not, the guys from college need your help more off the field than on the field," Dan Quinn said in 2020,. "Through the years, it's been great to stay connected to players that I coached at Florida. That relationship and that bond really grows strong." The two now enter their fourth season together on the same team, but 2022 and 2023 will be their first consecutive seasons working with each other. Quinn has plenty of resources on his defensive front with Fowler, Parsons, Armstrong, and now second-year defensive end Sam Williams all back with the Cowboys. That pa s-rush unit led the entire league in quarterback pre sure rate last season, hara sing opposing pa sers on 37% of their dropbacks. Unfortunately for the rest of
the league's QBs, Dallas' pa s-rush could be just as good or better with the continuity they have working together.
