"Gary is a proven pass rusher with 46.5 sacks in his career and Dallas needs all the help it can get to create more pressure. By adding Gary before the Packers were intending to release him to unrestricted free agency, allows Dallas to secure a quality player before having to bid against other teams on the open market."
"Jalen Thompson provides the Cowboys with a versatile player who, while he doesn't have elite characteristics, is instinctual and is capable of limiting big plays against the secondary. Dallas also placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on George Pickens and the second-round tender on Brandon Aubrey, giving Dallas the ability to match any offer extended to them."
The Dallas Cowboys made significant defensive moves on the first day of free agency. They traded for Rashan Gary, a proven pass rusher with 46.5 career sacks who reunites with former Packers teammate Kenny Clark. The Cowboys also signed safety Jalen Thompson to a three-year, $36 million contract to improve their secondary. Additionally, Dallas placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on George Pickens and a second-round tender on Brandon Aubrey, while renegotiating Terence Steele's contract to save $13 million in cap space. These moves position Dallas to create more defensive pressure and limit big plays while maintaining roster flexibility.
