He will never get $16M/year but as mentioned it involves other variables such as any free agent signings Dallas makes to offset their losses.

If I am the Cowboys, I am out trying to trade Gallup for something higher than the last pick in the 3rd round.
I can get behind this, depending on the trade.

I do like Gallup though and would like to keep the WR group together.
I think a little patience should be involved and seeing how the offense performs at the beginning of the season and the D to see if they can be contenders, or not.

If not: try to sell high.

I would think 16mil gets the third I doubt anything less than 15 would get a third though. Just a wild guess on my part.

When you are paying a QB 40 million he shouldnt need 3 stud receivers. If Gallup would take 13M I trade Cooper. If he wants more I go with Cooper.

Are you saying he will get more or less? Good article on it that I agree with. I used 16 as a middle number. If Gallup has another 1000 yard season I dont see it being an issue for him.

I think he will fall between the $10-$12M/year range at most as it is evident he is not a genuine #1 WR but one that has enough skill to take advantage of defenses rolling over towards Cooper or Zeke in terms of game planning.

It used to be that it was hard to find a top wide receiver in the draft, which is why we made the inane trades for Joey Galloway and Roy Williams.
Now, they're a dime a dozen.
Gallup will gallop out of Dallas, and we'll find his replacement fairly quickly.
As for how much we will get for him, I'd say a 4th if we let him go and a team signs him.

So we're not trying to win a Superbowl? I don't understand the logic of trading away your number two starting outside receiver because he's entering his last year of his contract, how does taking away a weapon help the offense??

Basically it comes to finances as Dallas simply can't devote all of their salary cap resources towards offense while constantly ignoring the defense.

No, he's under contract for this year, you just finished free agency and the draft which focused on the defense if you weren't paying attention, the focus is now on the season, not moving starting players because his contract is up after the season..

He’s as good as Golladay and look what the Giants paid. Many people here tell me the cap is going up big because of Amazon and all the tv deals.

That why I said we need patience to see if pulling off that trade would be fruitful.
If they fall flat as heck... maybe looking toward the future would be the most prudent choice.

1) We drafted a guy who could be the one or two who's playing the three.

2) They drafted another receiver this year to protect themselves from his possible departure.

I don't think they plan to have him here next year. Might as well shop him, and see what you can get before accepting a 3rd as compensation.
