Green Bay Packers linebacker Rashan Gary delivered one of the most dominant preseason performances in recent memory, showcasing relentless pass rush, disciplined run defense, and the kind of veteran leadership that anchors a championship-caliber unit. While preseason stats rarely predict regular-season awards, his showing has reignited interest from teams across the NFL looking to bolster their defense.
According to multiple league sources, at least nine teams have inquired about Gary’s availability as the preseason winds down. With elite edge rushers always at a premium, the former Michigan standout has quickly become a name circulating among front offices.
Miami Dolphins
With questions surrounding their pass rush depth, the Dolphins see Gary as the perfect partner for Bradley Chubb, giving them a fierce edge duo.
New York Jets
If their defensive front needs more consistency opposite Jermaine Johnson, Gary’s explosive first step could be a major upgrade.
Cleveland Browns
Pairing Gary with Myles Garrett could give Cleveland one of the most feared pass-rushing tandems in the league.
Baltimore Ravens
In a system that thrives on aggressive blitz packages, Gary’s power and speed off the edge could be a perfect fit behind a stout Ravens secondary.
Indianapolis Colts
Looking to bring more pressure alongside Kwity Paye, the Colts could see Gary as a defensive cornerstone for years to come.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence isn’t the only one they’re building around — adding Gary to Josh Allen on the edge could give the Jags a dominant defensive identity.
Houston Texans
Pairing Gary with Will Anderson Jr. could give Houston one of the youngest, most explosive pass-rushing duos in football.
New Orleans Saints
With an aging defensive line, the Saints could see Gary as a long-term solution to keep their front seven disruptive.
Arizona Cardinals
In need of a defensive leader, the Cardinals could make Gary the centerpiece of their front, helping stabilize a rebuilding roster.
While no trade is imminent, league insiders expect the conversation around Rashan Gary to intensify in the coming weeks. For defense-needy teams, the Packers’ Pro Bowl pass rusher may be one preseason standout worth pursuing before the regular season kicks off.
