Last year, pass rusher Dante Fowler took a pay cut to remain with the Falcons, as the team sought to create cap space. On Wednesday, the team opted to release the former Florida star, making him an unrestricted free agent entering the 2022 offseason.
Fowler originally signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the team ahead of the 2020 season, after a productive stint with the Rams. His deal was restructured last offseason, voiding the ’22 year on his deal, which comes with a $4.6 million cap hit.
