The Dallas Cowboys have kicked off the NFL’s opening day of free agency with a blockbuster trade, sending a 2027 3rd round pick to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for edge rusher and former 1st round pick Rashan Gary.
“Trade: the Green Bay Packers are finalizing a deal that would send DT Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a late-round 2027 draft pick, per ESPN sources,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on his official X account on Monday morning.
Gary, 6-foot-5 and 277 pounds, was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft and earned his lone Pro Bowl selection in 2024. He’s had at least 7.5 sacks each of the last 3 seasons.
“This is a big piece,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said on Monday. ” … the Green Bay Packers and Cowboys were in talks the last 24 hours, figuring out the right price for the Cowboys to get a big-time pass rusher. He certainly didn’t play up to his capabilities last year. The Cowboys continue to buy low ahead of free agency, just like they did last year. They’ve been in the edge market trying to sign 1 … and I wouldn’t be surprised actualy if they sign 2 edge rushers.”
