Rashan Gary arrived in Dallas recently, but one familiar name continues to follow him around. Every discussion about the Big D’s newest pass rusher seems to find its way back to Kenny Clark.
That is not because of a new trade rumor or another blockbuster move. It is because Gary and Clark spent seven seasons building one of the strongest bonds inside the Packers' locker room. Now that they are together again in Dallas, that link has become a major talking point among Cowboys fans heading into the season.
Rashan Gary's Cowboys Move Has Everyone Talking About Kenny Clark Again

That history came up almost immediately when Gary met reporters during his introductory conference call on March 12."KC is my dog," Gary said. "I've been in Green Bay seven years, and I've been with KC all seven, so he watched me mature as a man, mature as a player and he also gave me key pointers on the way up."
That stance offered insights into why Clark's name often popped up whenever Gary's matters get discussed. The link runs deeper than former teammates reuniting on a new roster. Clark played a key role throughout Gary's development in Green Bay, and Gary has never been shy about acknowledging that.
The reunion also comes at an important time for Dallas. Big D spent the offseason reshaping a defense that struggled through stretches of the 2025 season. Gary arrives with playoff experience, leadership and a reputation as one of the league's most disruptive edge defenders.
Clark already knows what he brings. In fact, Gary revealed during the March 12 conference call that he reached out to Clark shortly after the trade became official and told him it was "an honor and a privilege" to play alongside him again.
There is another Packers connection in the building as well. Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker worked with Gary during the early stages of his career in Green Bay. Gary called the reunion a "full circle moment" and praised Parker's understanding of the game.
All of it helps explain why the Gary-Clark storyline refuses to disappear. Fans see two longtime Packers stars reunited. Analysts see familiar chemistry joining a defense looking for answers. Gary sees something even simpler. A chance to win football games again in Dallas. That goal remains the focus, but for now, the Kenny Clark connection keeps Rashan Gary right at the center of Cowboys conversations.
