"The Cowboys have been all about acquiring players that truly fit their coaching staff under Schottenheimer, and on Monday Gary became one of the first examples of this for not only first-year DC Christian Parker, but the position coaches that Parker has selected as well."
"New Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker was in Green Bay when the Packers drafted Gary in 2019 while serving as a defensive quality control coach. It wasn't only Gary's first two seasons in the league that they spent together, but also Parker's first two seasons working in the NFL as well."
"Cowboys defensive pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley was also with Gary in Green Bay while he served as the Packers' passing game coordinator in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, Gary has spent time training with new Cowboys pass rush consultant Brandon Jordan and will get to do so again."
The Dallas Cowboys acquired defensive end Rashan Gary from the Green Bay Packers for a 2027 fourth-round pick, continuing their strategy of targeting players with established connections to their coaching staff. New defensive coordinator Christian Parker worked with Gary during the player's first two NFL seasons in Green Bay. Cowboys defensive pass game coordinator Derrick Ansley also previously worked with Gary in Green Bay. Additionally, Gary has trained with new Cowboys pass rush consultant Brandon Jordan. This acquisition represents the Cowboys' first former first-round pick addition this offseason, aligning with their preference for acquiring proven talent familiar with their coaching schemes.
