But if I have to say a favorite, I&#8217;ll go with Rashan Gary in a trade with the Packers. Gary is a proven pass-rusher who still has plenty of production on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, he was better in the games opposite of Micah Parsons but it&#8217;s not like he played his whole career with Micah. Gary has at least five sacks in the last six years, including three with 7.5 or more. That would&#8217;ve been right at the top of the Cowboys defense this past season. I think there will be other pass-rushers added to the mix opposite of Gary. But don&#8217;t forget this part, the pass-rushers in Green Bay didn&#8217;t have the interior linemen the Cowboys will have with Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams. So I think Gary has a chance to be just as productive, if not more this season.<\/p>\n<p>I think other candidates are Jalen Thompson and Cobie Durant, but if I had to pick one favorite addition, it&#8217;s the move to get a veteran in Rashan Gary, a player this defense definitely needed a year ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Editor&#8217;s Note: Time to check the mail!
