"Nonetheless, as Pro Football Focus noted earlier in the week, Fowler would be an intriguing target for teams seeking an upgrade on the edge:
'Jacksonville's odd man out along the defensive line, Dante Fowler Jr., would have an immediate effect pressuring opposing quarterbacks with his 84.2 pass-rush grade. The former first-round pick is in the fourth year of his rookie deal and would be a steal for any team in need of one of the most valuable positions on the field.' "

"Fowler is a more interesting case. The Jaguars are now 3-5 and may need to win seven or eight games down the stretch to worm their way into the postseason. Maybe it's too soon for the Jaguars to consider selling off some pieces, considering they reached the AFC Championship Game a year ago and still have a young, on-the-rise roster, but if they deem any players expendable to their long-term plans, perhaps they could be enticed to sell.
The Jaguars also appear to have concerns with team chemistry and overall morale, another reason they could potentially be sellers before Tuesday.
Fowler has had an up-and-down tenure in Jacksonville that has included off-field issues, a rookie season completely lost to injury and mixed results on the field. He had a solid 2017 campaign, registering eight sacks, but this year he's managed just two in the team's first eight games, stuck in a rotation with Yannick Ngakoue and Calais Campbell."
