About this episode

Rashan Garys Future Uncertain with Green Bay Packers: A Salary Cap Dilemma

The Green Bay Packers and edge rusher Rashan Gary are at a crossroads. Gary, a 2019 first-round pick, hinted at a potential departure on Instagram, but quickly deleted the post. The Packers are considering trading or releasing him due to his high cap hit of over $28 million in 2026. Moving Gary would free up $11 million next year but add $17 million in dead money. Despite being the longest-tenured player, Garys performance has been inconsistent, with no sacks or tackles for loss in the final ten games of 2025. The Packers plan to rely on Micah Parsons and Lukas Van Ness up front, with younger draft picks and potential free agency signings stepping up. The new league year starts next week, so expect quick resolution.
