When the Cowboys acquired Rashan Gary, a key discussion point among fans centered around the edge rusher’s contract.

It appears his salary cap figures have been reworked as Dallas moves forward in its busy offseason. According to ESPN, Gary will play in Dallas under a two-year, $32 million deal with $16 million guaranteed.

The deal includes a bonus of $13.2 million.

Gary will reportedly earn $1.8 million in 2026 with a $1 million active roster bonus. He’ll then earn $15 million in 2027 with another $1 million active roster bonus. The first year of that contract is guaranteed.

The reworked contract has four void years.

Gary originally had base salaries of $18 million (2026) and $21 million (2027) over the next two years. He had signed a four-year, $96 million extension with the Green Bay Packers in 2023.

The Cowboys have high hopes for the veteran edge rusher as they head into a new season under defensive coordinator Christian Parker. Dallas sent a 2027 fourth-round draft pick to the Packers for Gary’s services.
