His deal has an out after this year, so if he doesn't want to pick it up, he can walk. Chiefs also could cut him/walk if they want, as they wouldn't be on the hook for signing bonuses.
But if he does work, it would give KC someone they can use as part of the unit next year, when the DL needs to be rebuilt.

Fair or otherwise, it's hard to disassociate Fowler and the absolutely horrific Falcons defense/pass rush last season.
He was considered their lead dog last season and he was
trash. And it came right after getting paid.
I mean...that's not great.
Seems like he's generally struggled with his hand on the ground and needs to be more of a stand-up rusher to be effective.
