Cowboys Acquire Gary, Boost Edge Rush

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 10th. The Dallas Cowboys just pulled off a key defensive trade, acquiring edge-rusher Rashan Gary from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 20-27 fourth-round pick. Gary turns 29 in December and brings solid experience to the team. He earned a pro-bowl nod in 2024 and racked up seven-and-a-half sacks, 20 quarterback hits, seven tackles for loss, and a forced fumble in 2025. That adds up to 46-and-a-half career sacks. Plus, New Defense Accordinator, Christian Parker, coached him in Green Bay, easing his move to Dallas. Before this deal, the Cowboys' edge-group looked thin, with just Donovan as Averwaku and James Houston as the main returners with real snaps at the spot. Fans and analysts worried about a major pass-rush drop-off, but Gary steps in as a proven veteran starter right away. Still, this does not close the book on their edge needs.

1:00Gary boosts the floor, without being a total fix, especially after his second half-sack drought last season, on just 58.3 percent of, defensive snaps. Dallas still eyes the deep 20-26 draft class for young talent and depth. Overall, the trade shifts the Cowboys from panic mode to smart planning. They can now target high-upside rushers for value instead of forcing a pick, putting them in a stronger spot as the off-season heats up.
