Dante Fowler, DE – Rams

On the opposite sideline, a less expensive option may be Rams defensive end Dante Fowler. A tackling machine, Fowler played his way into a starting position midway through the regular season and hasn’t looked back.

Traded from the Jacksonville Jaguars, who selected him in the first-round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Fowler entered with plenty of fanfare but never fully played up to his potential. The change of scenery has been beneficial as Fowler racked up two sacks and 21 tackles for the Rams over the second half of the season.

In two playoff games, Fowler has eight tackles, one and one-half sacks, in addition to two quarterback hits. A key part of the Rams strong defensive front, Fowler would make a nice addition to the Panthers defensive line.
