Rashan Gary Deletes Post Announcing End of Packers Tenure amid Trade, Release Rumors

Bleacher Report • March 6, 2026 • general

Key Points:

Green Bay Packers pass-rusher Rashan Gary announced on Instagram that his time with the team was over, though the post was later deleted and reported to be a hack.
Despite the Instagram incident, Gary has not been officially told he will be released or traded, but he remains a subject of trade discussions.
Releasing Gary would save the Packers $11 million in cap space but incur $17 million in dead cap costs.
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst praised Gary’s talent and impact, expecting continued high-level production from him.
Gary, a former first-round pick in 2019, led the Packers in sacks in 2023 and 2024 but has faced competition from new star Micah Parsons.
