Rashan Gary receives double-digit sack prediction for first season with Cowboys
Summary

Following a trade from the Green Bay Packers this March, defensive end Rashan Gary is projected to reach double-digit sacks in his first season with the Dallas Cowboys. The Athletic’s Jon Machota anticipates the edge rusher will surpass his previous career high of 9.5 sacks while operating in a new defensive front under coordinator Christian Parker. Gary, a 2019 first-round draft pick, recorded 46.5 sacks during his seven-year tenure in Green Bay before the team opted for future draft capital and salary-cap savings. In Dallas, he joins a defensive unit featuring Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams. Staff reports indicate the defensive scheme is designed to create more favorable one-on-one opportunities for Gary on the outside. He is slated to start at outside linebacker alongside Donovan Ezeiruaku as he begins his tenure with the club.
