Rashan Gary's tenure with the Green Bay Packers has officially come to an end as he heads to the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran defensive end marked the occasion with a heartfelt farewell video on Instagram, aptly titled "Thank You."
In the video, Gary reflected on his journey, sharing emotional moments from his 2019 draft selection by the Packers and showcasing highlights from his career. His message was clear: "Thank you, Green Bay." He expressed gratitude to the organization, his teammates, and the passionate Packers fanbase for seven memorable years filled with support and camaraderie.
This trade follows a brief moment of confusion when Gary posted, then quickly removed, a farewell message, attributing the incident to a hacked account. Despite the mix-up, it was evident that both Gary and the Packers were ready to part ways after a significant chapter together. Gary and Elgton Jenkins were the longest-serving members of the team by the end of 2025.
Gary's 2025 season started strong, with 7.5 sacks in the first seven games. However, his production waned in the latter part of the season, and he didn't record a sack in the final 10 games. His resilience was on display when he returned from an ACL tear in November 2022, playing every game over the next two seasons.
At 28, Gary's career has seen notable milestones, including a four-year contract extension worth up to $107 million signed in late 2023 and his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2024.
As the Packers look to the future, here's a quick glance at their free agents in 2026:
