7. Packers sign Rashan Gary to contract extension before regular season

It doesn't matter that Rashan Gary is still recovering from a significant injury. The Packers need to get a new deal sorted as soon as possible. They are typically on the ball when it comes to extending star players well before their contract expires.

The Packers are optimistic that Gary will return before the end of training camp, which would increase his chances of being ready for the season opener.

Whether he is ready for Week 1 or not, the Packers need to ensure he is leading this pass rush beyond 2023. Gary is one of the Packers' best three players on the entire roster. They can't afford to lose him.
