Cowboys free agent survey: Grading the acquisitions of Rashan Gary, Jalen Thompson
"Gary is a serviceable defensive lineman who at one time looked to be on a star trajectory, but has now become a solid veteran who can help a rotation. He gives the Cowboys a firm base in terms of pass rush (generally around 7-9 sacks a year), and is effective against the run."
"Dallas then made a big dollar signing (for them, at least) when they brought on safety Jalen Thompson on a three-year deal for $36 million. Thompson comes from the Arizona Cardinals where he worked with new secondary coach Ryan Smith. Thompson is a versatile, and underrated, safety that fits well with Christian Parker's system."
The Dallas Cowboys made two significant defensive moves before free agency officially opened. They traded a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Green Bay Packers for EDGE rusher Rashan Gary, a serviceable veteran who typically records 7-9 sacks annually and contributes effectively against the run. Gary has familiarity with some Cowboys defensive coaches from his time in Green Bay. Additionally, Dallas signed safety Jalen Thompson from the Arizona Cardinals on a three-year contract worth $36 million. Thompson is a versatile and underrated safety who previously worked with new Cowboys secondary coach Ryan Smith and fits well within the team's defensive system.
