The Eagles have signed Cowboys' free agent linebacker Ryan Fowler to an offer sheet reportedly worth $10.5 million over four-years. Fowler is a restricted free agent, but because he was undrafted the Cowboys will receive no compensation should they choose not to re-sign him.
Fowler, a quality special teams player for the Cowboys, wants the opportunity to start and will likely have a chance to do that with the Eagles given the current uncertainty with the position. Fowler is best suited to play either middle linebacker or the SAM position. If Dallas opts to not re-sign Fowler, the Eagles feel that they have found a diamond in the rough. I, like many people in Philadelphia, know nothing about him, so only time will tell with this one.
