Green Bay Packers pass-rusher Rashan Gary’s tenure with the team could be coming to an end soon.
Gary announced that his time in Green Bay was over on Instagram before later deleting the post on Friday, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky later reported Gary “has not been told he will be released or traded” and that “his IG account was hacked.”
The 28-year-old has still been the “subject” of trade talks, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
If Green Bay ultimately chooses to release Gary, it would save the team $11 million in cap space and leave behind $17 million of dead cap (h/t Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac).
It’s worth noting that Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was complimentary of Gary at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, though.
“He was impactful towards the second half of the season, maybe not as much as he was in the first, but he was impactful,” Gutekunst said, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. “And Rashan’s got all the talent in the world, and he’s produced at a high level for us since he’s been here, and we would expect that next year, as well.”
Gary finished with 45 tackles, 20 quarterback hits and 7.5 sacks across 16 appearances during his 2025 campaign, although he wasn’t able to record a sack over his final nine regular-season games.
He’s spent his entire career with the Packers after they selected him with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
Gary led the team in sacks in both 2023 and 2024, although Green Bay could be open to the idea of moving on from him with star pass-rusher Micah Parsons now in the mix.
