2026 Cowboys Free Agency Thread…

[boozeman]

Gary is the guy I wanted in the Parsons deal, to get him for a "late round pick" is a coup.

He's not an elite pass rusher but he's very well rounded against the run and will give you 8ish sacks a year.

It's kind of funny that the Packers have hollowed out their front 7 to make room for the Parsons money.

They will regret it every year he ends up injured and out of gas.

This makes a rusher less of a priority.

In the deal, the Cowboys gave up a late-round draft pick in 2027 (specifically described as a Day 3 pick, which means Rounds 4–7; some reports specify a 2027 third-round pick, but the consensus from sources like ESPN's Adam Schefter, The Athletic's Dianna Russini, and others leans toward a low-value late-round selection).

And Gary is only 29, very strange on the Packers part unless they plan on doing something big in FA (probably not).

I trust Dianna’s ability to use her skills to get the right info.

Seems like I remember how fired up GB fans were about how unstoppable Micah and Gary together would be.

 

[Smitty]

Interesting.

Nothing like giving up a fourth for a player about to be released, though.

What, the Packers would rather release him than get like, a 6th?

 

[Genghis Khan]

4th rounder is not a late pick in my opinion but oh well.

 

[Cotton]

This seems like a great deal for us. If it were a 2026 I might not feel as good about it, but a 2027? I like it.

 

[Simpleton]

Guess this means we're out on Hendrickson, but if not...

Yeah me either but I'm ok with it. I really like the player. Never knew why the Packers were getting rid of him.

I mean Gary can play DE in a 3-4. But then its kind of like is Osa really out?

Seems unnecessary but on the other hand if we had made this deal a week ago before the whispers of him being released came out I'd have been ecstatic, so I'm not going to complain.

He's probably better than any FA edge except Hendrickson.

 

[Smitty]

Again, why a fourth though?

John Park ran the numbers and calculated he'd still offer more than Trey Lance?

Yeah, a fourth is a little deflating.

Or Ezeiruaku becomes the 3rd edge rusher.
