Jerry Jones loves to deal with the Green Bay Packers.
Several months removed from shipping one of the league’s best pass rushers – Micah Parsons – to the Packers, the Dallas Cowboys acquired Rashad Gary for a 2027 fourth-round pick, according to multiple reports.
Gary had posted on social media Friday a goodbye message to Green Bay that indicated his release ahead of the start of the new league year. He quickly removed the post, however, as he wound up being traded instead.
A first-round (12th overall) pick by the Packers in 2019, Gary had 7.5 sacks in 2024 and 2025, with his career best in that department coming in 2021 (9.5). Gary and Green Bay had agreed to a four-year, $96 million extension that takes him through his age-30 season in 2027.
Dallas has been active in the pass-rush market and was one of the teams monitor the availability of Maxx Crosby, who went to the Baltimore Ravens. The Cowboys have also been linked to pending free agent Trey Hendrickson.
The return for Parsons before the start of last season netted the Cowboys two first-round draft picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, whom Gary will reunite with in Dallas.
