Dallas reworked Rashan Gary into a two-year, $32M extension with six void years, trimming 2026 cash by about $6M while guaranteeing $16M and spreading bonuses far into the future. 2026 cap hit is around $5.4M, with about $18.6M projected in 2027; if released, a $10.56M dead cap in 2027 would apply. It’s a high‑risk, window‑closing bet on Gary’s value and a bold cap maneuver by Dallas.
Dallas trades for Packers defensive lineman Rashan Gary, sending a 2027 fourth-round pick in a bid to boost the Cowboys’ pass rush before free agency. Gary, a 2019 first-rounder with 37.5 sacks over the last five seasons, gives Dallas proven production and a chance to energize their edge group after a near-miss on Maxx Crosby.
Green Bay traded Rashan Gary to Dallas for a 2027 fourth-round pick, avoiding a release and reclaiming value after a mixed 2025 season in which he had 7.5 sacks in seven games before going sackless the rest of the year. His four-year, $96 million extension proved costly, with large cap hits and a big dead-cap charge, while the Packers’ cap savings (~$11 million) give them room to maneuver. The trade grades out as an A for Green Bay, with the extension earning a D-plus; the overall value could rise if the savings help shore up the defense.
Dallas is finalizing a trade with Green Bay to acquire edge rusher Rashan Gary for a 2027 fourth-round pick, reuniting him with former Packers teammates and giving the Cowboys a proven boost to their pass rush; Gary has 46.5 career sacks and posted 7.5 sacks in 2025. The deal becomes official when the new league year opens on March 11, 2026.
Dallas strikes early in the 2026 free-agent period, agreeing to a three-year deal with safety Jalen Thompson and adding Rashan Gary in a trade, reuniting Thompson with secondary coach Ryan Smith to bolster Dallas' defensive backfield.
With the legal tampering period opening, the Packers kicked off 2026 free agency by re-signing a few players and trading Rashan Gary to Dallas for a 2027 fourth-round pick, signaling a conservative approach focused on compensatory picks and cap space. While not expected to make big external splashes, they’ll monitor negotiations with players from other teams. Notable rumors include Malik Willis to the Dolphins and Kingsley Enagbare to the Jets, and Romeo Doubs reportedly unlikely to re-sign, while Sean Rhyan, Nick Niemann, and Chris Brooks were re-signed.
The Green Bay Packers traded defensive end Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 Day 3 pick (a fourth-rounder), freeing about $11 million in cap space. Gary, 28, had been on a four-year, $96 million contract, but Green Bay decided his production didn’t justify the price, especially after a strong early-season stretch followed by a late-season slowdown. Dallas gains pass-rush help ahead of the season, while Green Bay pivots to free agency/draft to bolster its defensive line.
The Green Bay Packers traded defensive end Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 fourth-round pick, allowing Green Bay to shed cap space while Dallas adds a veteran edge defender to bolster its defense.
Dallas Cowboys acquire edge rusher Rashan Gary from Green Bay in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick, trimming Dallas’s 2027 draft picks to six and pushing a $19.5 million cap hit onto 2026, shrinking their cap space. Gary, who has 46.5 sacks in seven seasons and 7.5 sacks in each of the last two years, should bolster Dallas’s pass rush after a 2025 output of 35 sacks. The deal follows last offseason’s trade that sent Micah Parsons to Green Bay for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, with Gary joining Dallas to make an immediate impact on defense.
Miami is aiming for cost-effective moves in free agency, with Rashan Gary emerging as a top target if Green Bay releases him to clear cap space. The 28-year-old former Pro Bowler would instantly become Miami’s best edge rusher and bring veteran leadership, but his $28 million cap hit and the dead-money hit the Packers would incur complicate the decision, and market competition could affect whether the Dolphins land him.
Rashan Gary posted goodbye messages on Instagram and Twitter that sparked talk he’d left the Packers, but beat writers say the posts were hacked; Green Bay’s cap maneuvering gives them flexibility to hold decisions on Gary (and fellow potential cap casualty Elgton Jenkins) until later in the offseason, with no action taken yet and options including a possible trade or release.
Rashan Gary’s Instagram farewell post was reportedly hacked, with the Packers edge rusher quickly regaining control of his account after a graphic message read like a goodbye. There’s no indication the Packers must act immediately, and the piece notes his 2026 pay structure remains intact: a non-guaranteed $18 million base salary, plus $800,000 in per-game roster bonuses and a $700,000 workout bonus, for a $28 million cap.
Rashan Gary posted (and later deleted) an IG message suggesting his time with the Packers was over, prompting questions about a release or trade; NFL Network says he hasn’t been told he will be released or traded and the post may have been hacked. He remains the subject of trade talks, and a future release would save Green Bay about $11 million in cap space but leave roughly $17 million in dead cap. Gary, 28, produced 45 tackles, 20 quarterback hits and 7.5 sacks in 2025 after leading the team in sacks in 2023–24, and the Packers could move on as they weigh their options, with the article noting the organization may be open to changes as new pieces come into play.
Rashan Gary posted on social media that he’s leaving the Packers, then deleted the message, as reports indicate he could be released or traded due to his $19.5 million non-guaranteed 2026 salary; his deleted note thanked Packers Nation and suggested another chapter awaits.
Cincinnati reportedly is considering a tag-and-trade to move Trey Hendrickson and could pursue Rashan Gary as a veteran replacement; Gary, not likely to return to Green Bay because of a large cap hit, possesses pass-rush production (about 60 pressures and 7.5 sacks) and has a prior connection with Bengals defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery, making him an appealing fit for a win-now defense.
