Feels like he took a “hometown deal”

glad to see Gallup back he’s been a very nice deep threat and a perfect compliment to CeeDee

The Cowboys wouldn’t have traded Cooper if they thought they would also lose Gallup. No way could they afford to lose both. They would’ve done what they had to do to sign Gallup. He had a calf injury earlier in the season that cost him a number of games. He’s had a few injuries so no one was going to break the bank for him. He’s yet to prove he can be a number one receiver.

Yeah, this deal was already done yesterday before they traded Coop. Talk about disaster if they would have lost both.

In a way the knee injury probably helped keep him in Dallas. If he was healthy right now he could have gotten a lot more in my opinion.
Yep - I thought if not for the ACL he would of got around $17 million a year. His stats aren’t that far off of mike Williams who just signed for $20 million a year. Chris Godwin knee injury was worse and he got the franchise tag.

I’m no cap expert, but I guess this means somewhere around a $15 million cap hit if for whatever reason he never comes back the same and we cut him before the 23 season?

Gallup was an 1100 yard guy in 2019. In 2020 he slipped due to Lamb's arrival and last year he only played nine games. With Cooper gone Gallup is going to be the number two receiver again and his production should be back to where it was a couple years ago.

The cap hit won't be that high. I expect a huge part of Gallup's 2022 salary will be in his up-front signing bonus and that can be paid out over the course of the next five years. If I had to guess, Gallup will probably count around $8 million against the cap this year (again just a guess).

Would’ve been a complete disaster especially with the talk that Cedric Wilson could be gone. The Cowboys would’ve had to end up overpaying him to stay and be our #2. That would’ve moved up Noah Brown and a few others into having significant roles next season.

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

Yup, he will be carrying a $20M salary in no time.

Anyone know what kind of comp pick we would get if he signed that deal with another team? I’ve never understood really how comp picks are determined.
