The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly set to bolster their defensive line with an intriguing trade involving the Green Bay Packers on Monday.
The Cowboys have agreed to acquire Pro Bowl defensive tackle Rashan Gary for a fourth-round pick in 2027, according to multiple reports. The deal comes after the team lost its bid to acquire Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders. He was dealt to the Baltimore Ravens last week.

The Packers selected Gary with the 12th overall pick in the 2019 draft out of Michigan. He improved significantly over seven seasons as he started at defensive end, then moved to linebacker, then back to the defensive line.
Gary was a Pro Bowl selection in 2024 when he had 7.5 sacks, 47 tackles and one fumble recovery in 17 games. In 2025, Gary played 16 games. He had 7.5 sacks, 45 tackles and one fumble recovery.

He signed a four-year contract extension with the Packers through the 2023 season. He will be owed $18 million in 2026 and $21 million in 2027.
Dallas was 7-9-1 in the first season with Brian Schottenheimer as head coach. The team’s defense was shaken before the start of the season when the team traded Micah Parsons to the Packers.
