Cowboys' Gary: "I Can't Wait" for Big Year
3 Aug
Summary
- Rashan Gary aims for a breakout year with the Cowboys' defense.
- Defensive coordinator Christian Parker is praised for positive impact.
- Cowboys need defensive improvement to return to playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys' new edge rusher, Rashan Gary, is expressing high confidence for the upcoming season. Gary, acquired in an offseason trade, aims to significantly improve a pass rush that recorded the seventh-fewest sacks in the NFL last year.
Gary stated, "Everybody [should] pay attention this year. It's gonna be a great year... I can't wait." He also lauded defensive coordinator Christian Parker for his impact and the positive culture building within the team.
Parker's influence is already being felt, with players showing increased engagement in practice. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer commended Parker's leadership. However, tangible results on the field are crucial for the Cowboys' defense to gain credibility after recent struggles.
For Dallas to return to the postseason in 2026, an average defensive performance, combined with an elite offense, could prove sufficient. This contrasts with the team's recent campaigns where a weak defense hindered their progress.
