With every week that goes by, Rashan Gary is increasing the price it will require for the Green Bay Packers to sign him to an extension. The fifth-year edge rusher was quiet in the box score through two games of 2023, only officially registering a half-sack, but he broke out with a three-sack game against the Saints and followed that up with another solid performance (albeit sackless) last Thursday night.
In fact, Gary’s pass-rushing production is the best in the NFL, at least on a per-snap level, and as he stretches out his snap count over the course of the year, that should yield more and more big plays that will keep the cost of a new contract rising.
