He is nothing special as a pass rusher and was downright miserable defending the run. I think the combination Jacob Martin and Deatrich Wise is a BIG upgrade over Fowler.

I was about to make the same comment. Fowler had a career year in sacks that probably won't repeat. He was also one of the main culprits in a putrid run defense. The problem last year was not pass rush, they were actually pretty high on the list of pressures with Fowler obviously factoring into that.

No the problem as well all know was their complete inability to stop the run, from the first game of the season to the last. If they brought him back as a third down specialist I'd be fine with that. But Dante Fowler as the full time RDE would have been the same problems and without the 10.5 sacks.
