Cowboys Trade for Gary, Strengthening Defense

0:00On March 9th, the Dallas Cowboys just landed a key pass rusher by trading for defensive and roshan gary from the green bay packers. They sent over a 2027 third day draft pick in exchange for the 26 year old former 12th overall pick from 2019. This low cost deal quickly feels a big need on their defensive line. The Cowboys have been hunting for edge rush help after a rough season where their defense ranked near the bottom in most key stats. Gary brings versatility and can line up inside or outside, though he'll likely focus on the edge with their high priced defensive tackles already in place. Fans and analysts see this as a smart budget friendly move, but it might close the door on chasing bigger names like Trey Hendrickson from the Bengals. Dallas came close to getting max crossby earlier, but missed out and adding gary shifts their plans away from another splashy trade. Gary is three years younger than Hendrickson and fits well into new defensive coordinator Christian Parker scheme, even if he's not quite the elite, sack machine some hope for.
