The 25-year-old carried a $5,051,872 cap hit in 2022. Gary’s 2023 cap hit will be $10,892,000, but he’s recovering from a torn ACL and isn’t expected to start the season on time.

Rashan Gary Potential Extension

Gary is one of the game’s best young talents at the position, but there are now some question marks surrounding him heading into his fifth year in the league due to his recent ACL injury. Still, the talent is highly evident, and he’s already compiled 22.5 sacks in 56 career games.
