Green Bay Packers star pass rusher Rashan Gary does not expect to return to the team for the upcoming season, according to a report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. While Gary has not yet been officially traded or released by the organization, the veteran defender is reportedly moving forward with the expectation that his time in Green Bay has come to an end.
According to Pelissero, "all options are on the table" regarding how the Packers will handle Gary's departure. This includes the possibility of a trade or an outright release as the team evaluates its roster and salary cap situation. Despite the lack of a formal transaction at this moment, the relationship between the player and the franchise appears to have reached a definitive conclusion.
Rashan Gary has been a cornerstone of the Packers defense since being selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Known for his explosive power and high motor, Gary has developed into one of the league's most respected edge rushers. His potential availability will likely spark significant interest across the league, as teams look to bolster their pass rush units.
The Green Bay Packers have yet to issue a formal statement regarding Gary's status or provide a timeline for a potential move. While he remains on the roster for the time being, his anticipated exit marks a significant shift for the Green Bay defensive front heading into the new year.
