It started after the Packers’ week 3 victory– A fervent supporter exclaimed in the comment section of a YouTube shorts video, “Let’s go!!!! PAY GARY NOW!!! GET THAT MAN A CONTRACT!!” In the video, Jordan Love engages the crowd by throwing his hand in the air before taking off. However, for the same game, it’s undeniable that Rashan Gary, the 12th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, is emerging as a true powerhouse.

Coach LaFleur’s admiration for Gary was palpable, stating, “I don’t think there’s anybody in here who wouldn’t go to war with this dude.” Gary himself, speaking after the victory, emphasized his dedication to making a meaningful impact on the team’s success.

Gary’s dominance was a force to be reckoned with. He took down Derek Carr not once, but twice. Against the Saints, Gary tallied an impressive three sacks and four quarterback hits in just 23 snaps.

Gary picked 12th overall by the Green Bay Packers in the 2019 NFL Draft, has a guaranteed contract worth a hefty $10.89 million for 2023. But here’s the twist: his contract is about to run out after the 2022 season, and he’s gunning for a substantial extension, especially after his impressive comeback from an ACL injury.

This extension won’t come cheap. It’s anticipated to be a whopping four-year deal valued at around $100 million. While the Packers haven’t revealed when they’ll ink this deal, it’s on the horizon. For reference, Preston Smith, a fellow outside linebacker, secured a four-year contract worth $52 million in 2022, which could serve as a measuring stick for Gary’s next contract.
