Rashan Gary enters 2026 NFL season with expectations for double-digit sacks

The Dallas Cowboys look to rebound from a 7-10 finish in 2025 after a defensive overhaul. Following a league-worst performance where the defense allowed 500 points, the organization hired defensive coordinator Christian Parker and traded for veteran pass rusher Rashan Gary. While Gary has never recorded 10 sacks in a single season during his seven-year career, analysts project he could reach that mark in the new Dallas defensive scheme. He is expected to start at outside linebacker alongside Donovan Ezeiruaku. The team also bolstered its defensive interior by adding Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark to support the pass rush. Gary will attempt to translate his training camp performances into consistent sack production as the team transitions to its updated defensive alignment.
