The former top 5 pick compiled just 7.5 sacks for the Falcons in
28 games (19 starts). The Falcons signed Fowler to a three-year,
$45 million contract in March 2020. Fowler was coming off an
11.5-sack season with the Los Angeles Rams in 2019.
The Falcons had to release Fowler in order to void his contract,
which was over $25 million on paper for 2022, according to Over
the Cap.
Fowler, 27, has played in 91 career games (40 starts) for three
teams since being selected No. 3 overall by the Jacksonville
Jaguars in the 2015 draft. He made just one start for the Jags
in two-plus seasons. They traded him to the Rams for a 2019
third-round conditional pick and a 2020 fifth-rounder.
Fowler has 35.0 career sacks, 10 forced fumbles and five fumble
recoveries.
