How much do the Seahawks gain with the arrival of the pass rusher?
The addition of Dante Fowler Jr. provides the Seattle Seahawks with a seasoned pass rusher who brings valuable depth and a high pressure rate to Mike Macdonald’s defensive front. By joining forces with defensive coordinator Aden Durde, Fowler Jr. allows the Seahawks to maintain a more consistent rotation, keeping their edge rushers fresh for high-leverage passing downs.
He is expected to join a rotation that features potential starters DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu, and Derick Hall, significantly bolstering a unit that needed veteran reinforcements after the departure of Boye Mafe.
