The Packers are finalizing a deal to send Gary to the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Schefter, the Cowboys are slated to exchange a 2027 fourth-round draft pick for Gary. Reports surfaced Friday that the 2019 first-rounder could be moved, and it appears as though that's about to happen. In 16 regular-season games in 2025, Gary recorded 45 tackles (25 solo), including 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one recovered fumble.

Gary remains with the Packers on Friday, but all options remain on the table regarding his future in Green Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gary posted and then deleted a farewell message earlier Friday, but it appears it was premature. It sounds like the Packers could be trying to trade the edge rusher before outright releasing him. However it shakes out, the toothpaste is already out of the tube, and it sounds like Gary's time in Green Bay could be coming to a close in the near future. Gary has two years remaining on a four-year, $96 million extension and carries a massive $28 million cap number for the 2026 season. Gary has posted back-to-back 7.5-sack seasons since signing the extension.

Gary doesn't expect to remain with the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2019 first-round pick from Michigan has spent all seven years of his NFL career with the Packers, but it appears as though the edge rusher's time with the team could be coming to a close, with all options on the table, per Pelissero. Since entering the league, Gary has notched 46.5 sacks, highlighted by 9.5- and 9.0-sack campaigns in 2021 and 2023, respectively. However, he struggled down the stretch for the Packers last season, failing to record a single sack over the team's final 11 games (including playoffs).

Gary recorded 45 tackles (25 solo), 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one recovered fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

The Packers underwent some changes along their defensive line and pass rushers entering 2025, but Gary remained a consistent force. He tallied at least 7.5 sacks for the third consecutive season, and also recorded 20 quarterback hits -- the third-highest mark of his career. Gary should remain a key part of Green Bay's defensive line for their playoff run and into 2026, as he remains under contract for two more years.

Gary posted four tackles (one solo) during the Packers' 10-7 loss to the Eagles on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gary and the rest of the Packers' pass rushers weren't able to get to Jalen Hurts for a sack during Monday's loss. Gary hasn't logged a sack in each of his last two games, but he still leads the Packers with 7.5 sacks through nine regular-season games, which is tied for seventh most in the NFL.

Gary recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Sunday night's 35-25 win over the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

The Michigan product was one of two Packers to get after the quarterback in Week 8, taking down Aaron Rodgers in the first and fourth quarters. Gary has quietly been one of the league's most productive pass rushers this season, recording 24 total tackles, including 7.5 sacks (fifth-most in the NFL), and one forced fumble through the team's first seven games. The edge-rush tandem of Gary and Micah Parsons is expected to continue creating problems for opposing quarterbacks heading into the Week 9 matchup against the Panthers.

Gary registered four tackles (two solo) during the Packers' 40-40 tie to the Cowboys on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gary entered Week 4 having logged at least 1.0 sacks in each of the first three games of the regular season. However, he was unable to extend his sack streak to four games and didn't even register a quarterback hit in a game that saw the Packers defense struggle to contain Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense. Even so, Gary's 4.5 sacks on the season is tied with Carl Granderson and Nik Bonitto for third most in the NFL behind Brian Burns and Byron Young (5.0 each). The Packers are on a bye for Week 5 and will return for Week 6 on Sunday, Oct. 12 against a Bengals team that yielded three sacks against the Broncos in Week 4.

Gary recorded three solo tackles and 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Gary has now recorded at least one sack in all three games this season, and his 4.5 sacks lead all players with one game to play in Week 3.

Gary logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gary collected one of the Packers' four sacks late in the third quarter, when he took down Jayden Daniels for a 10-yard loss. Gary is already up to 2.5 sacks through the first two games of the 2025 season and is well on his way to surpassing his total from the 2024 campaign (7.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games).

Gary recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Gary immediately benefited from the presence of Micah Parsons on the other side of the defensive line, tying his career high in the tackles column while recording more sacks than he put up in any game during the previous campaign. Gary is still seeking the first double-digit sack season of his career, and with offenses paying plenty of attention to Parsons, he might be primed to get there in 2025.
