Signed by Cowboys Gallup signs deal

[BourbonBalz]

If we can resign Ced Wilson we should be OK at receiver. I’m sure we’ll draft one as well.

 

[Gaede]

Gallup and Dak have always had a good connection. Pretty happy we could retain him, though I am worried about the injuries.

 

[John813]

So, 17mil left in either guaranteed salary or guaranteed for injury. Not bad.

 

[Risen Star]

He's not getting top money. Paying him 12.5 million per season makes more sense than paying Cooper 20 million for 860 yards.

If you're going to join in at least understand the conversation.

 

[Risen Star]

The injury actually helped us out, if he was totally healthy we probably could not have afforded him on the open market.

LOL. Stop.

 

[Adreme]

So assuming they guaranteed the first 2 years of salary that means probably a 5-6 million cap hit this year.

My bad and I apologize. I misunderstood the context and that's on me.

Now kiss the pinky ring and all is well.

 

[Mannix]

We are in big trouble if we do not sign Wilson....he still has tons of upside!!!

Looks like we got an accountant on our hands here.

I hope that knucklehead surgeon who said Jaylon would be fine wasn't involved with Gallup's surgery/prognosis.

The problem with Jaylon was more mental than physical. I am sure the surgeon was right and the knee was structurally sound, but Jaylon always feared getting hurt again so he would intentionally avoid contact. He could never get over that mental block.

I dont think Gallup will have any of those issues, ACL is fairly common in todays game and guys come back from them all the time with no lingering problems.

 

[Adreme]

So you have to imagine JJ is pissed because this is now the second time he thought he would be the NFL news of the day only for something much bigger to happen.

 

[noletime95]

Before Lamb arrived and caught 74 and 79 passes the past two years. Cooper is gone now so Gallup will again get more targets. Simple as that.

That’s the point Coop is better.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

That’s a fair deal to both sides given The situation. I don’t feel like the Jones got screwed on this so that’s a positive

 

[Landryhat73]

Wouldn’t be surprised if the cap hit is around $4 million this year.

 

[Risen Star]

He may be better than Gallup.

He should go play with Wentz.

 

[Bowdown27]

It is. Saw on Twitter it’s a 5 million cap hit. So have room to work with

I mean 10 million signing bonus means 2 million cap this year. Assuming that leaves 17 million guaranteed which is probably the salary for years 1 and 2 and that it would probably be heavier in year 2 because delaying cap hits is how the NFL works.

 

[Kingofholland]

Guaranteed dollars matter most, but does anyone think Gallup was getting a long term deal like that from any other team coming off a torn ACL? I don't think so, if it was longer term I was hoping it would be around 10 million a year. But clearly the Cowboys felt he'll be healthy enough to be a big contributor. I will say it seems Dak trusts Gallup the most down the field and hope he earns his money. If we're getting the 2019 version of Michael Gallup it was a fair deal, otherwise I can't see this being a good contract.

 

[Risen Star]

I'm just kind of whatevs on this deal. I was higher on Gallup last year.

At the end of the day nothing will save this QB.
