Bobby took us Below The Belt to break down the Cowboys trading with the Packers for Rashan Gary.
Transcript
00:00do you know the name rashaun gary if you do then they got somebody you know the dallas cowboys
00:06have made a trade we'll talk about it here in below the belt which is brought to you by window
00:11nation and academy sports and outdoors and we're we're trying to fact check the insiders here so
00:18diana russini um i think she got it wrong initially she said it was for a third round pick
00:24it's for a day three pick of course we know the draft right here on 105 through the fan
00:29has the first round thursday and then day two is rounds two and three so a day three pick and
00:37shefter is saying late day three we we haven't seen what it is yet everybody else is just saying day
00:42three at the moment but shefter is saying late day three all right let's talk about the player
00:47as the scouts would say bob uh i mean he's obviously like not one that i'd been doing a ton
00:53of like
00:54deep dive on but obviously knowing and i also don't know why shefter said deep tackle i think
00:59odyssey may have repeated shefter on that like let's change that up guys uh in terms of like
01:04deep tackle because then you do have to trade osa yeah you know this would be defensive life but
01:09again if you want to talk about some of the reason why osa might be on the outs a little
01:14bit uh
01:15christian parker couldn't talk enough about how much he he loved kenny clark and kenny clark was
01:19the best in league that i said in this were sean gary's first two years in the nfl were christian
01:23parker's first two years in the nfl and they were together in green bay and so uh there's familiarity
01:28there for sure for christian parker he's a big man he's he's big he has always been an athletic
01:34freak uh and he was somebody who i think was thought of as being sort of a disappointment the
01:39first couple of years and then he rallied around and had become a really solid edge rusher michigan
01:45and then yeah michigan coming out of michigan was it was sort of just a raw player at first but
01:48ended up being just a steady pass rusher there and we're in a pro bowl appearance in 2024
01:54last year it seemed like he just kind of got sideways and sour with green bay and that they
02:00didn't get along anymore and there was when people talked about micah parsons end of the season
02:05talking about well we need guys who do this or do that and he was talking about effort and
02:09guys need to check themselves or whatever his little rant was about at the end of the year when
02:12he was on in the locker room on crutches a lot of green bay people were like is this shots
02:16fired at
02:17rashaun gary okay i uh not getting very fun exciting intel back from our green bay guys
02:26and i trust kevin turner kt fun tweets he's a packer fan pff by the way was a 68 53rd
02:33out of
02:33115 edge defenders i texted uh him and sandler who follow the packers closely kt said gary was very
02:41good until micah got hurt and then he sucked and i do believe it's as simple as that he ran
02:46out of gas
02:46pretty quick i think he's washed his fall off is wild after micah got hurt he stunk put it this
02:54way green bay is thrilled they were going to cut him yep jared he was not a star he was
02:59good but
03:00looks like he's aging quickly never became an elite sacker of the quarterback don't think he ever had
03:06more than nine tons of pressures but not a finisher well if he's aging quickly he's 28 then his cap
03:15is aging worse uh now his base salary is you know 18 and 21 million over the next two years
03:23he signed
03:23through 27 his cap number right now is 28 million for this year and next year it's 31 million you
03:31know
03:31so you could obviously post you in one of these you obviously they're not worried about that they
03:35would have traded for him just to cut him so none of that matters it's uh it's it's a it's
03:39a hefty cat
03:40figure i will point out too uh i don't know how how closely they still work together um but
03:48brandon jordan the pass rush specialist they just hired he worked extensively with rashaun gary when
03:55he was coming out in the draft like that was that was one of his first big prospects that he
04:00worked
04:00closely with so you've got experience here with christian parker you've got bt jordan who's the
04:05pass rush coach now who's worked with him before so i i mean this is i i understand why this
04:11happened
04:11just from a connection standpoint right there all right i got another green bay guy that's not kt or
04:17sandler he's lackluster should have feasted with parsons on the opposite side and was just the same
04:22and then had zero sacks after parsons went down does not give full effort university of michigan
04:29underachiever in the league i hope he leaves us so he's not even aware of the breaking news that the
04:34cowboys just dealt for him look the way this is sounding right now with the draft pick becoming
04:40later and later give me the money again choppy please 28 and 31 28 and 31 per the cap hits
04:47okay
04:47the next two years the the money is like 18 and 21 a base salary 18 that's a base salary
04:55let me look at this contract real quick yeah bobby figure out a way to finagle that lower please
04:59or for 96 i think was the number i saw because i was about to say before this contract kicks
05:08in and
05:08shuts me up this feels like just an appetizer based upon what i'm hearing about him from everyone
05:15i i don't know that this would take them out of hendrickson unless you tell me that this 20 million
05:21is not being manipulated eaten right scrapped clawed so here it is it so the base salary is 18 the
05:28prorated signing bonus is eight and a half they don't take any of that they don't worry about
05:32that nope uh okay so the cap number yeah and that was and this year is 18 last year was
05:39the next year
05:39is 21 so it was 29 and 30 his number is 18 that's what it is because he's they're not
05:44going to take
05:44on any of the prorated bonuses uh that'll stay with green bay so it'll be 18 and 21 will be
05:49his
05:49number i think he's yeah his guarantee his guaranteed money's already gone so this is what i am guessing this
05:56is a reworked deal so i'm not thrilled about paying 18 for what everyone is texting no no no no
06:02no but i
06:03mean like it's also i i mean 18 for a pass rusher like i mean like you just went through
06:08the list of
06:08tiers there it's not like if you're paying 18 you're necessarily getting a world beater um i mean what
06:14did dorance armstrong sign for 15 so i mean gary's a if he's at 18 million i would imagine they're
06:21going
06:21to do something to adjust that a little bit um as jason mccordy on espn has already given them an
06:26a for the rashawn gary trade dang but i think that yeah this would be i would guess that that
06:32number is
06:32going to be lower than 18 and i would guess that him coming here they what christian parker is going
06:39to want to do he's going to be really versatile i would guess he could if need be because of
06:44his
06:44size and his athleticism he could stand up as an edge rusher he could be like an outside linebacker
06:49in some instances he could be one of the like three down linemen at times i would think as a
06:55four-eye defensive end because he's just got the size and the athleticism in general for we'll see
07:00we'll watch him we'll see if he's got like what the tape looks like but in general like this is
07:04a
07:04versatile player that they can move around and have do different things all right kevin walker is
07:09telling me that rap just said it's a 2027 fourth okay it's a 2027 fourth rounder for gary that's day
07:17three nick harris has it too yep so i was right that's the important thing is i was right when
07:22i
07:23guessed a four there you go that's all we that's all we have to worry about yes that's what we
07:27care
07:27about bobby knows paul all right you know my my initial feel right now in the moment is yeah it's
07:34positive i think it's positive is it like a slam dunk no and i think you're right i don't think
07:38this
07:39takes them out of spending for other people this is this is a decent trade where they'll be able to
07:45use flexibility for him i i'll watch him a little closer and see but i think he's going to be
07:49he's going to be somebody that they regularly have out there he's going to in all likelihood be a
07:55starter okay someone else texted and says the tray stuff is news to them that's from ricky scoops
08:03as of 8 31 a.m so thank you mr individual for that but hendrickson news would be news to
08:10the cowboys
08:11as of 8 30 this morning all right 8 7 7 8 8 1 1 0 5 3 maybe this
08:18is an nba thing where lebron just
08:19decides where he's going to go and the other team's like okay yeah um fourth i was hoping it was
08:26a
08:26little later i definitely don't want it to be 20 million dollars i mean this team throws fourth
08:31fourth rounders are out there it's supposed to be a new day it's supposed to be a new day new
08:36day
08:36uh we're checking with green bay insiders to come on as well as the news is breaking on the home
08:42of america's team the sack numbers for gary throughout his career i'll start from 2019
08:47two five nine and a half six nine and then seven and a half in each of the last two
08:53years
08:55clowny think about clowny gary in all likelihood for them will be younger clowny with a more ability
09:02to cover yeah i was just about to say give me the christian parker fit this this is this is
09:07the
09:07clowny replacement this is what when they were talking about oh we're gonna go get jadevion
09:10clowny we're gonna do this they're saying okay we we can have somebody with size and athleticism
09:14and somebody who can fit probably more naturally into playing that outside backer than clowny can at
09:21this point and and can do a little bit more for you other than just get after the quarterback i
09:27would
09:27say that as a clowny replacement this is a they they view this as an upgrade over clowny to do
09:33what clowny did for them last year and do you see that parker do you see that i haven't watched
09:38him
09:38yet i mean i'll watch him when i get home later today i i know that if you're talking about
09:43his
09:43athleticism and his size and his age and his durability yes he's above clowny in that sense i
09:47just don't like hearing that he was about to be cut well minka fourth was given up minka was about
09:53to be cut yeah and he and it took a seven right not a that's a long way from a
09:56fourth but minka
09:57just got a new deal like like gary they've got complete flexibility to maneuver his money around
10:03because i don't think there's anything guaranteed on the back end of this and they could restructure
10:08it um yes so basically they could make a restructure they could turn something to bonus
10:13money they could do that i would imagine they would want potentially and i haven't heard this
10:17this is just my guess there's two years left and there's that amount of money that's on the books
10:21and none none of it's guaranteed i would imagine they'd want to try and finagle it even more by
10:26creating an extension maybe like saying like oh it's a three-year deal now we've tacked some void
10:29years onto it i would guess that's more how they'd like to manipulate the money a little bit okay more
10:34text from green bay people he played the fewest snaps of any starter on the team and that includes so
10:39he's fresh that includes parsons who was hurt for half the year played the fewest snaps any starter on
10:48the team you know might give us half the year look i think that gary what you're talking about here
10:56is obviously like he had definitely gotten sideways with them and he was going to be on his way out
11:00and all that can be true if you're talking about a year in advance again generally we knock around off
11:08of that because you have no idea what the value is going to be so in a lot of teams
11:11eyes that would
11:11be a fifth basically that they traded for rashaun gary and i think you're going to get more than
11:19fifth round production out of just his usage and then in all likelihood the actual quality of play
11:27but this is again when you go out there you always want to acquire people when new defensive
11:32coordinators walk in they always want to acquire evangelists they need somebody who's played in the
11:37system before somebody who's played within what they're trying to preach to people and to go out
11:40there and go hey listen to me you can succeed in this system i've done it i've seen it you've
11:45got
11:45to always have a couple veterans that you acquire who come here to preach it and so i think rashaun
11:49gary's better than probably anybody they had last year just on when i had watched him leading into the
11:55the dallas game but you know i'll see if some of that was effort related at the end
12:00you
