The
Atlanta Falcons have filled a major need by agreeing to terms with pass-rusher
Dante Fowler on a three-year, $48 million deal, a source told ESPN's Vaughn McClure on Wednesday.
Atlanta generated just 28 sacks last season. Fowler, who played for Falcons coach Dan Quinn while in college at Florida, brings quickness off the edge to pair with
Grady Jarrett's push inside.
Fowler had 11.5 sacks with the
Los Angeles Rams last season after 3½ turbulent years with the
Jacksonville Jaguars.
