Reports: Rashan Gary agreed to pay cut in trade to Cowboys

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Rashan Gary took less money to be traded to the Dallas Cowboys rather than being released by the Packers earlier this month, according to multiple reports.

Gary will be paid $16 million for the 2026 and 2027 season and he receives a signing bonus of $13.2 million, NFL Network reported.

Acquired from the Packers for a 2027 fourth-round pick, Gary’s contract in Green Bay called for salaries of $19.5 million in 2026 and $22.5 million in 2027.

The 28-year-old was expected to be released before Dallas made a deal to pair the edge rusher with former Packers teammate Kenny Clark. Clark was acquired from Green Bay as part of the trade involving Micah Parsons last August.

Gary has 46.5 career sacks and adds to the ongoing overhaul of the front seven in Dallas. In 2025, Gary started in 15 games and generated 7.5 sacks, 20 QB hits, seven tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for the Packers.

Reports: Cowboys to acquire DL Rashan Gary from Packers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Rashan Gary thrived in a pass-rushing tandem with Micah Parsons last season after Parsons joined the Packers via trade from the Cowboys.

Now Green Bay is sending Gary to Dallas in a deal that can become official on Wednesday when the 2026 league year begins, according to multiple reports.

The Cowboys will reportedly part with a late-round pick in 2027 to acquire Gary, who was expecting to be released after his production declined in the second half of the season after Parsons sustained a torn ACL.

Gary will find some familiar faces in Dallas. Former Packers teammate Kenny Clark, traded in the Parsons deal in August 2025, and new defensive coordinator Christian Parker — a quality control coach on defense in 2019 when Gary was a rookie — are part of the new-look Dallas defense.

Gary, 28, is owed $18 million in base salary for 2026 and $21 million in 2027.

In seven seasons with the Packers, the 2019 first-round pick (12th overall) posted 46.5 sacks, 46 tackles for loss and 111 quarterback hits in 106 games (74 starts). Gary made the Pro Bowl in 2024.
