Defensive end Rashan Gary has agreed to a pay cut as part of his trade from the Green Bay Packers, reducing his salary to $16 million for each of the next two seasons, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Monday.
The Dallas Cowboys also added option and void years to the deal, lowering Gary’s cap hit to $5.44 million in 2026 and $8.24 million in 2027. Gary had originally been set to make $19.5 million this season and $22.5 million in 2027, with no guaranteed money. Under the new structure, most of his 2026 compensation is now guaranteed, including a $13.2 million signing bonus, giving Dallas more financial flexibility while securing a key pass rusher for the foreseeable future.
Gary was traded to Dallas after spending first seven seasons in the league with Green Bay.
