When has Gallup ever gotten injured other than this season?

Stop spewing falsehoods.
Sep 15, 2019 NFL Knee Meniscus Tear Gallup suffered a knee injury late in the Week 2 win over Washington. He missed two games
Dec 20, 2020 NFL Inguinal Hip Strain Gallup sustained a strained right hip during Week 15's win over the 49ers. He was available for the next game.
Sep 9, 2021 NFL Leg Calf Strain Gallup sustained a strained left calf during Week 1's loss at Tampa Bay. He was placed on IR and missed seven games
Jan 2, 2022 NFL Knee ACL Tear Grade 3 Gallup tore his ACL in Week 17 and is out for the season.

No.

Cooper has failed to get open often this year...and mostly against 1-on-1's. He even admitted as much recently. Inexcusable, especially for someone getting paid $20+ million/year.
Just remember what Dak was without Cooper, don't be hating on a player.

He also missed 2 games. He is around his career average for yards per Reception. He is used much differently he is not used vertically that much that has been reserved for Gallup and Lamb. The bigger issue is there have been games where he, Lamb and Gallup might as well be standing on the sideline with the way they got used in games.
yes, all running curl routes at about 10 yards deep is not very good idea.

Prior to this season, Gallup had only missed 2 games. That's not considered being injury-prone.

Aw man don't get me started on that play.. On 3rd and long the defense rushes three and drop 8 and not only can we not block three friggin guys we only send 3 receivers out and they all run the same stupid "go to the sticks and curl" route. As if the defense can't possibly be expecting that..

Oh, I understand. Not hating on Cooper. Just stating a fact. He's been covered (by his own admission) mostly 1-on-1 all of this season, yet he has struggled to get open. THAT is why he hasn't had the ball thrown to him as much. He's got no one to blame but himself. Instead, he starts yapping to the media and pointing fingers towards Dak and Kellen Moore. That's bush league. Plus, he refuses to take ownership of his own performance (or lack of it).

Cooper has been getting hounded by the media and now the league is on his case.

I think Jerry is angling for Coop’s release with some of the public statements he made earlier in the season. It also seems the media attention is targeted, and it could be the team playing PR games.

Theories aside, if the FO is interested in bringing Wilson back and they believe Gallup can be brought back on a 1 year deal, releasing Coop does make financial sense. They could transition 10 million of the cap from offense to defense with that one move.

I really like Amari and his quiet confidence but his production has been down so paying him 21 million next season seems insane.
It's not a conspiracy anybody with half a brain can see athletes are targeted for not doing a certain thing i.e. Kylie Irving.

Dallas can't afford to keep a $20M WR they don't target, and I don't know if the QB can do without #19. Certainly an interesting decision to be made.

I could live with it but we are going to have to sign someone, Ceede is not who I thought he was going to be. The drops have me nervous.

didn't say he was just gave you his injury history. not the best.
Gallup’s injury history is a scratch compared to Amari Cooper's. Cooper takes the cake by far, yet I don't hear anyone complaining about it like they are complaining about Gallup.

It's clear those hating on Gallup prefer Cooper over Gallup. Agenda driven posts.

You do know $20 million is going rate for top receivers, that said is very likely aa cut next year.

Way overpaid. There is a reason the Cowboys did not renegotiate Cooper's contract before this season started. Instead, the Cowboys were willing to take the full hit. Why is that?

Doesn't look good for Cooper this upcoming offseason.

No hate on Gallop but he's not close to Cooper as WR go.
