The Dallas Cowboys are banking on a defensive turnaround fueled by the arrival of Rashan Gary, a former Packers edge rusher traded for a 2027 fourth-round pick. Despite a late-season slump in 2025 that led to his trade, Gary is confident he’s primed for a breakout year, praising new DC Christian Parker’s swagger and leadership. Parker, hailed as a veteran in his first coordinator role, has already boosted locker room morale and communication — but fans will be watching closely to see if this hype translates into wins. With the offense expected to carry the load, the Cowboys’ goal is simple: just be average on defense — enough to get back to the postseason.
