Packers: LB Rashan Gary signs contract extension

Green Bay has locked up its top pass rusher with a contract extension.

Linebacker Rashan Gary announced the extension himself on Monday morning.

About a year removed from tearing his ACL, the former first-round pick leads the Packers in sacks this season with 4.5 and he has 27 for his career.

The 26-year-old was set to become a free agent after the season.
