Cowboys agree on a trade for DE Rashan Gary
9:02 a.m. - The Cowboys are finalizing a trade with the Packers to acquire former Pro Bowl defensive end Rashan Gary in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
Gary, 28, has spent all seven years of his NFL career in Green Bay, where he earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2024 and has tallied 46.5 career sacks. Now, Gary reunites with his former Packers teammate in Kenny Clark and gives Dallas help in their pass rush department.
Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones said at the NFL Combine that Dallas was looking for immediate contributors on defense, and that he'd be willing to spend future capital on it as well.
"The only way to push more is for me to go borrow some of my future. Expect me to go borrow some of my future…" Jones said. "I want to do everything we possibly can to stop somebody and to basically win some third downs more than we did last year. So I think that would be the area that you would see me bust the budget."
Steele's contract restructured
8:14 a.m. - The Cowboys are expected to restructure OT Terence Steele's contract on Monday, a move that will keep Dallas' right tackle in place and frees up some additional cap space for the Cowboys heading into the first day of legal tampering.
Steele is entering his seventh year with the Cowboys, and second-year offensive coordinator Klayton Adams still sees Steele improving.
"I just think that there's a ton of good things that he's doing," Adams said of Steele at the NFL Combine. "The margins are smaller as you get later in your career for the type of improvement that you specifically want to be able to make, but we've got an improvement plan ready for him for probably seven or eight different things that maybe he hasn't worked on in his career. And so I can certainly see some of the benefits of the way that the guy works. He's an absolute pro, and we're gonna continue to find ways to help him get better."
In 2026, Steele will get his second year playing alongside right guard Tyler Booker, as the two paved the way for a strong rushing attack in 2025 for the Cowboys with Javonte Williams in the backfield.
