The Atlanta Falcons are set to sign pass-rusher Dante Fowler Jr. to a three-year contract, Ian Rapoport NFL Network reports.

Fowler's deal is worth $48 million, according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.

The 25-year-old hinted at his landing spot in a tweet moments before the report.

The former Jacksonville Jaguars No. 3 pick spent the last season-and-a-half with the Los Angeles Rams.

Fowler racked up a career-best 11.5 sacks in 2019 to set himself up for a big payday on the open market.

He will reunite with Atlanta head coach Dan Quinn, who was the veteran's defensive coordinator while at Florida.

The Falcons needed to bolster their pass rush after tying for 29th in sacks and allowing Vic Beasley to leave in free agency.
