Cowboys Dealt Unfortunate News as Starter Cuts Ties With Team for Super Bowl Contender
The Dallas Cowboys were dealt unfortunate news just weeks after the NFL draft as one of the team's starters joins another NFC contender.
heavy.comHere’s the latest I could gather.
-
Dante Fowler Jr. has reportedly signed with the Seattle Seahawks on a one-year deal in early May 2026, reuniting with a former Cowboys assistant. This move was reportedly worth up to $5 million, centered on adding veteran edge rush depth for Seattle [source coverage indicates Tom Pelissero reported the agreement on May 5, 2026]. This represents a change from his recent stint with the Dallas Cowboys [source coverage indicates the report and contract details].

There have been earlier notes about Fowler’s career trajectory, including past off-field incidents and multiple teams he’s played for, but the most current and verified development is the Seattle deal in 2026 [historical summaries and ESPN/NFL coverage provide context on his career but the latest confirmed item is the Seahawks signing in 2026].
If you’d like, I can pull up more details on the contract terms, Seahawks defense alignment, or a quick recap of Fowler’s recent on-field performance leading into this move. Also I can monitor for any updates in the next 24–48 hours and summarize changes with citations.
