Rashan Gary’s Final Contribution to Green Bay Packers Is Dead Cap Money

Mon, Mar 23, 2026

The Green Bay Packers eat $17 million in dead cap after Rashan Gary's disappointing tenure, a costly legacy for the former top pick.

The last big one, we, we talked multiple times about Rashaun Gary as a guy who- likely was gonna end up getting cut.

And some- I don't know what it is about Jerry Jones and, Brian Gutekunst, man, but they got a nice little connection.

Because Jones decided to give the Packers a, a fourth round pick for a guy- Crazy they were gonna cut, dude.

A guy they were gonna cut.

They were, they were cutting him and Jerry said, "Nah, hey."

"Nah, I'll, I'll take him."

"Hey, hey, I'll take him.

You want a fourth rounder?"

Yeah.

Incredible.

Unbelievable.

What a good, what a good move by Gutekunst and, and to get him in to, to, to, to move him for a pick.

I mean, that's, that's massive.

But it does feel like Jerry's got his, his number on speed dial.

Like, "Oh, you're gonna You guys wanna make a deal?

We wanna make a deal today?

W- what's going on?"

Now, let's talk about who has come in.

And, it's not as big of a list, and we knew that would be the case.

Yeah.

but there were several players that, that at least I feel have an interesting opportunity here in Green Bay.

So first, the big one I wanna talk about is literally a big one.

It's Javon Hargrave, who's a, a big- Yeah defensive tackle.

the nice part about him, so they're, they got him, when the, when the Vikings cut him.

Mm-hmm.

But this is a guy who actually, played with Jonathan Gannon, in Philadelphia.

Yeah.

Jonathan Gannon was the, defensive coordinator there.

He had two great seasons under, Jonathan Gannon, so I think it's a really nice fit.

There was a need there, especially with Wooden going out to Indianapolis.

Do you have any thoughts on Hargrave?

Yeah, there, there's a really good- Yeah point of comfort.

I, comfort's the wrong word, but you get excited when, when your team's going out and signing like interior lineman and interior defensive lineman.

'Cause it's like, "All right.

Hey, we're solidifying the, the foundation of the, of the team"- Mm-hmm "l- the line of scrimmage."

So that part-
