TC in St. Louis Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Top 100 free agents: Number 29 29. EDGE DANTE FOWLER JR. Fowler had the best season of his four-year career in 2019, producing a 73.4 pass-rush grade that ranks 31st among qualifying edge defenders. Fowler has gathered the sixth-most sacks (15) while ranking 38th in win rate and 20th in pressure rate. Not to mention, he had the second-most pressures that were cleanups or pursuits. His pressure rate this year was over three percentage points higher than we have seen from him in a single season. Fowler is likely going to get overpaid based on the 2019 sack numbers, but that’s not to say he isn’t a good player — he’ll be a good addition to a pass-rush unit if a team can get him for the right price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed tackles was probably my biggest beef with the D last year. All three units. All three new DL seem to be good tacklers. Klein decent, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz28 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm thinking he's Star lite. Same kinda guy with same limitations. Maybe a little better penetration, but it will be nice having them both playing alongside Ed. They're built for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former first round pick. Maybe McD can get more effort from him. I think that is why his contract is structured with only 9 mil guaranteed. He wants to get payed. Give him something to work for...

Seoulofstone Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Before 2019 you could have got this guy for a late round pick. He couldn't break the rotation. Panthers fans would have died laughing if you told them he would get close to 9 mill total contract never mind guarantees only.

I would be surprised if they moved Hughes, especially if Murphy is gone. Plus Hughes has veteran leadership potential. First they want you to stay inside. Then they cancel the parades. Now, a guy ironically named “Happy” wants Murphy gone. It’s tough to be Irish again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
