If he were to be signed to a new deal by the Jags I'd say it shouldn't be more than a few million per year. I could see something like a four year 20 million contract with most of the salary being in the last season in case the team doesn't want him after a couple of seasons. He's athletic but he's got no bend and no pass rushing moves. His sack total this season was essentially his ceiling as a player when everyone around him is winning and he gets to always have the one on one.

I think Fowler is just scratching the surface of his ability and we don't know how good he could be yet. He was being chipped by RBs and TEs a whole lot when he would get on the field, so no he wasn't always one on one. He was getting home from winning battles this year, and not so much on stunts like last season.

The Defense played 1,259 snaps this past season, including the post season. Fowler only played 581 snaps and he had 10 sacks. He didn't even play 50% of the Defensive snaps and still put up double digit sacks. He had at least another 15 pressures on top of that.

Ngakoue had 12 sacks on 924 snaps and he always seen the one on one match ups. He only plays the weak side, so it's always one on one.

I just don't understand how you can say a 23 year old Pass Rusher, who will be going into his 3rd active season, has hit his ceiling already when he hasn't even entered his physical prime yet. Yes he has plenty of stuff to work on still, but you could absolutely see improvement in his game from last season, to this past season.
