The Green Bay Packers have traded defensive end Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys in a move that clears nearly $30 million in salary cap space for the team. Gary, a former first-round pick, had an up-and-down tenure in Green Bay, showcasing dominant flashes but struggling with consistency. The Packers will receive a 2027 fourth-round draft pick in return.

Why it matters

The Packers' defense is undergoing a significant transition, with Gary's departure joining the losses of Kingsley Enagbare and Colby Wooden. This trade allows Green Bay to reallocate resources and potentially re-sign or extend other key players, while also adding to their draft capital for the future.

The details

In three separate incidents since July, police said Walker Reed Quinn, a 45-year-old San Francisco resident, has been damaging Waymo autonomous vehicles by removing and swinging his belt, placing a cone on the dome and sensors of the car, damaging the tires and driver's side mirror, and stomping on the windshield.

  • On July 4, Quinn allegedly dove onto the hood of a Waymo vehicle and covered sensors.
  • On July 29, Quinn allegedly damaged a Waymo's tires and driver's side mirror.
  • On August 11, Quinn allegedly stomped on a windshield while someone was inside.
