The Cowboys have started the free-agency week with a bang, finalizing a trade with the Packers for defensive end Rashan Gary.
The 7-year veteran has played his entire career in Green Bay, making the Pro Bowl in 2024. Last year, he played opposite Micah Parsons, who was traded by Dallas before the season.
Gary has 46.5 career sacks and has at least five sacks in the last seven seasons, including 7.5 in 2024 and 2025.
The reported compensation for Gary is a 2027 fourth-round pick. However, the NFL league year doesn't officially start until March 11 and all trades can't be finalized until 3 p.m. on Wednesday.
