Dallas Cowboys 2026 Offseason Thread

I was/am a Crosby guy but Miller's a better starting point edge than Gary who had an extreme decline last year after Micah's Injury.
Even if Miller is 10 years older than Gary too.

Hopefully it won't be another one of those Cowboys acquisitions of a name, that by the time in his career that he reached the Boys, was all out of juice.
9 sacks last year is somewhat comforting in that regard.

I think Gary is going to surprise a lot of Cowboy fans. Is he a superstar? No definitely not. But he's a solid player. He's also reportedly dropped some weight to bring back some mobility. He was pretty much a down 4-3DE guy for GB and weighed well into the 270's.

He's been consistent as a pass rusher, getting between 7 1/2 and 9/12 sacks in 4 of the last 5 yrs, and the one he didnt get that many he had 6 in 9 games in 2022.He's also an excellent run defender.

Mine wasn't a whole body of work observation of the player but more a what have you done for me lately type and Gary's last 10 games "after" Micahs injury departure saw an extreme decrease in overall pressures, fast pressure win rate and of course ZERO sacks without Micah while putting up 7.5 his first 7 games with Micah. He basically disappeared and was set to be cut before our infamous GM swooped in to give up a 4th rd pick as he's been know to do.
Oh well, maybe he can do something while having Miller on the other side now.
Fingers crossed.
