Green Bay Packers fans, brace yourselves! Star defensive end Rashan Gary is kicking off 2025 with a major life announcement that’s sure to send shockwaves through the Frozen Tundra! Is he demanding a trade? Retiring early? Or is there something *else* entirely that’s about to change the course of his career?
Gary’s “Life-Altering” News: What Could It Be?!
While the exact details of Gary’s announcement are being kept tightly under wraps, speculation is running rampant. Is he about to reveal a new endorsement deal? A foray into politics? Or is he about to drop a bombshell that will leave Packers fans reeling?
### The Pro Bowl Boost
Both Xavier McKinney and Rashan Gary had Pro Bowl escalators in their contracts with the Packers, so they’ll earn more money in 2025[3]. According to CBS Sports, McKinney’s base salary will go up from $2.75 million to $3 million in 2025, while Gary’s base salary will increase from $6.8 million to $7.05 million next season[3].
Pro Bowler
Gary was named to his first Pro Bowl this past season and has three years left on a four-year, $96 million extension he signed with the Packers in October of 2023[4]. The NFL announced Gary as one of Green Bay’s three selections in this year’s Pro Bowl Games, joining safety Xavier McKinney and running back Josh Jacobs[7].
### Can a New Coach Help Him?
The Green Bay Packers saw their pass rush struggle mightily in 2024 season[1]. According to Andrew Kulha of Clutch Points DeMarcus Covington joining the staff is a big time change[1]. Now, heading into his seventh NFL season, you could still say that Gary is raw but extremely athletic and talented[1].
### Gary’s “Underwhelming” Season: A Sign of Things to Come?!
Despite being named to the Pro Bowl[2][3][7][8], Gary’s 2024 season was statistically underwhelming, with just 7.5 sacks[1][4]. Some analysts question whether he’s living up to his $96 million contract[4][6].
### Is a Trade Inevitable?!
With the Packers potentially looking to shake things up in 2025, could Gary be on the trading block? Several teams could use a pass rusher of his caliber, and the Packers might be tempted to cash in on his value.
Is Gary about to drop a bombshell that will redefine his career and the Packers’ future? Or is this just a case of offseason hype that will ultimately lead to nothing? Only time will tell!
