What are the options for Dante Fowler as he heads to free agency?The Rams and Fowler have a decision to make. Fowler is slated to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins on March 13. And given how pass-rushing talent is always at a premium in the NFL, he could receive a fairly lucrative deal on the open market.
So what are the options?
Los Angeles could place a tag on Fowler — either the transition tag, non-exclusive franchise tag, or exclusive franchise tag. The transition tag would allow the Rams to match any offer Fowler receives on the open market. The non-exclusive franchise tag would allow Fowler to negotiate with other teams, but if he reached a deal with another team, it would ow the Rams significant compensation to sign Fowler. And the exclusive franchise tag would prevent Fowler from negotiating with other teams.
