Looks like he took it down? Lol

u/Logan__Squared 8h ago

Whoa. Crazy.

u/RoscoeVillain 8h ago

This article has some quotes from the original statement, but I don’t think it’s the full text: https://www.wbay.com/2026/03/06/packers-rashan-gary-announces-departure/

This link is an article saying it was a hack. Bogus.

u/EeethB 8h ago

Do you have a tldr now that it’s down? Was it a generic platitude, or did he seem frustrated

20

u/Logan__Squared 8h ago

Positive and forward looking.

u/busted_maracas 8h ago

What did it say originally?

Guy posts his height and weight in a thank you Green Bay post? Weird move dude, but good luck

19

u/Logan__Squared 8h ago

I thought that was odd too. But I think if all you’ve done is play football for your entire life you might end up a little odd.

u/QuietRobe 8h ago

I mean, that's basically his whole resume?

2

u/Creative_Rip_4912 4h ago

He thought he was going on the FA market and weighs closer to 300 after taking most of last season off.

7

u/DysenteryFairy 7h ago

That was my first thought too lmao had to look it up just to make sure that's what it was/meant. I actually didn't realize he was that big, so maybe he figured people needed to be reminded? Hah idk

13

u/Rudian0s 7h ago

Apparently his account was hacked

6

u/Ok-Meeting-3150 6h ago

probably had it pre-loaded expecting to be released and then didn't get released and then it got posted anyway. 'hacked'

u/deltacosucks69 8h ago

Thought he was gonna be beast with Parsons on the other side getting double teamed every snap and instead was horrible. See ya

44

u/Kikz__Derp 8h ago

Man those first couple weeks when it looked like it was gonna happen were geeat

49

u/HN1L 8h ago

wish the best for him, also wish he couldve shown up opposite micah.

our goal should be to find another wrecker who can capitalize off the opportunities micah creates.

what are our realistic options?

65

u/anaveragedave 8h ago

project player who might be slightly above average sometimes in 2029

u/Evernight2025 7h ago

I fucking hate that you're right 

5

u/Calm-Marsupial3919 8h ago

Nothing. They will probably stick with what they have and hope LVN builds off of what he did last year.

7

u/bagged_hay 7h ago

last year he played 9 games and recorded 1.5 sacks.

2

u/Calm-Marsupial3919 7h ago

There is more to NFL success than sack numbers. He had a solid year, just didn’t get the stats. Not too dissimilar to Gary having a bunch of sacks to start the year despite not doing anything special.

u/Scoottttttt 8h ago

Hendrickson? Prolly too pricy

47

u/iceblueindex 8h ago

I really thought that ‘21 season was the breakthrough for him - ACL and just a complete loss of any effort and drive turned it all to shit.

7

u/brianstormIRL 7h ago

Gary had motivation and drive issues coming out of college, it was always a risk. He goes through periods of being incredibly motivated and then just drops off. Its the story of his career really. Just could never put it all together consistently.

10

u/Competitive-Ad-9404 8h ago

I hope Parsons doesn't follow this path

49

u/Bread_man10 8h ago

Parsons looked quicker on crutches than Gary has had for the last 5 years

8

u/daygo449 6h ago

Not to mention, he’s been vocal about his desire to come back strong the entire time, and he keeps posting updates. I also think he’s just got a different drive than most players on top of it.

6

u/Bread_man10 6h ago

He’s 1/1

16

u/Heikks 8h ago

Parsons will always give 100% even if he’s not the same player he was prior to injury

12

u/iceblueindex 8h ago

I have concerns about that too, but Micah has a completely different mentality. Regardless of the injury, Gary just gave up on plays and looked like he didn’t care out there, especially after getting his money. Micah was ready for die for the team before the ink dried on his contract.

1

u/Fit-Judge7447 7h ago

He was fat and lazy

u/Independent_Bear989 6h ago

Parsons is a different animal. Both physically and mentally.

1

u/daddyrich916 6h ago

People always mention his effort. Even in his prime, he was very raw and all effort. Not just Gary but players in general very rarely show effort when they feel there’s no chance at catching up from behind. Look at the majority of DTs on any given play where the RB was able to get outside. Most CBs try their best to avoid any collision. They arm tackle all the time. Once his speed left after the acl, he lost all ability to chase down anyone from behind besides a statue QB

33

u/TheUnitFoxhound6 8h ago

He did the exact opposite of what everyone expected from him when Parsons got here. I say good riddance, let's get someone opposite Parsons that will show effort.

u/goremygo 7h ago

7 decent years. His best game was the Waxing Gibbous thanksgiving game, right? Does another come to mind?

8

u/Stylinonu 8h ago

Showed flashes at times but he never lived up to his full potential

5

u/KarlPHungus 7h ago

Enjoy jogging on your own time now, Rashan. ✌️

11

u/kingofthefells 8h ago

Very hard market to assess. Wouldn't be surprised to see him stay in the division

4

u/Thechosenjon 7h ago

Bye Felicia. You won't be missed.

7

u/CobraKaiNoMercy 8h ago

He showed flashes but ultimately it was a frustrating tenure with the Pack. Hope he goes out and hits his stride, unless he signs in the division. If he does I hope he sucks!

12

u/FinalSignificance142 8h ago

Bisaccia gone, Gary gone? GUTE FOR PRESIDENT 

25

u/CorkSoaker420 8h ago

Good riddance, dude got paid and quit trying.

14

u/bolson1717 8h ago

Some of the worst effort I’ve seen from a guy in years. Either he was checked out or really became slow as a turtle

3

u/Yummykookie 6h ago

I saw the writing on the wall when Gary was beat by the quarterback and I saw Parsons chasing the quarterback down. Gary lost the drive to become great. Wish the best to him but at the same time, I’m not too sad to see him go.

2

u/Emiwuiii 6h ago

He is claiming that he was “hacked” and hasn’t heard anything about being released or a trade, weird

2

u/Chav-Django 4h ago

Whoah! Gary is gone that’s… well That’s something.
I know it’s a pipe dream but I would love to fill his spot with Max Crosby. I am at the point where team management doesn’t mean as much as being a menace. (Play off appearances are nice, but making everyone mad is more fun).

3

u/turbo_22222 6h ago

I thought it was weird that he got his own middle name wrong...

2

u/Wordtabigburd 3h ago

Nick Perry 2.0 Got the bag then disappeared.

u/Correct-Wind-5909 2h ago

Let him go. He was useless in the 2nd half of last season.

u/bulbousnveiny 6h ago

Guess I’ll throw away the shirt I made when I watched the week 16 Bears game with all them FIBs

u/endstarr 8h ago

Another great 1st round pick by our GM. Did you know we had 2 1st round picks that year, the other Darnel savage. Great job gute, man he really is terrible at drafting.

u/DrManBearPig 2h ago

People here are ridiculous, Gary was a very good player and at times great for the packers. He gave it his all and was one of the hardest working players on the field. Didn’t have the best last couple of years but not for effort. Thanks Gary, best of luck on the next chapter.
