Rashan Gary targets double-digit sack season for Dallas Cowboys
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to Rashan Gary to anchor their pass rush following a period of inconsistent sack production. Signed in January to a two-year, $32 million deal, Gary enters a retooled defense under new coordinator Christian Parker. While his career high currently sits at 9.5 sacks from 2021, projections suggest he could reach double digits as a starter this season. The team bolstered its defensive line and coaching staff in the offseason to improve pressure rates, which struggled in the previous campaign. With Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark anchoring the interior, the Cowboys aim to improve their field position metrics and turnover generation. Gary is expected to start at outside linebacker alongside Donovan Ezeiruaku, with Von Miller and Malachi Lawrence providing depth.
