Cowboys have given permission to Gallup to seek trade

[big dog cowboy]

RB1 in the draft has more ROI.

Cowboys won't be drafting a RB in the first round this year.

 

[Aven8]

The draft is loaded at WR. Good luck with that!

Whatever happened to trying to trade a guy instead of just saying he's available.

 

[Jayinem]

I don't get that at all. Instead of letting him seek a trade and then maybe you get a poopoo platter back for him why not just cut him and take the cap space? Makes no sense.

"If we can't work out a deal we will release him."

Who would make a trade knowing this?

If they can get anything it would be a shocker!

Does free agency still exist?

Fill RB,RB, DT, and MLB in FA. Its a great draft to go o line round 1, and 2.

Cowboys don't do free agency, unless you count their dumpster diving for scrubs.

Receiver market is always tough. Gallup is about to be cut. Someone will sign him based on his one 1k yard season but if he plays like he did last year he won’t be in this league very long.

I mean if you trade for him you don’t have to deal with other teams like in free agency. I just don’t think anyone cares enough to even bid on him right now.

It does. But this team is notoriously cheap and doesn’t fill all of their needs through free agency.

You can mark this post. They likely sign 1 maybe 2 guys in free agency. It’ll be Tony Pollard and Eric Kendricks

They are cheap, predictive and reactive as opposed to proactive

They likely draft Tyler Guyton round 1, Jonathan brooks round 2

I disagree with this. They usually do a good job filling holes before the draft, just usually ain’t the high market big name free agents.

What else is new. This is Jerry Dumbo GM Jones. Trade away a Pro Bowl WR getting nothing, to sign a one legged WR, only to possibly lose that WR in FA getting nothing.

These are the Arlington Jonesboys, All In!

No NFL team is drafting a RB in the first round this year.

Gallup is not a big separation guy ... he's not a fantastic slot guy .. he has always been a shotty route runner
Several of Dak's INTs have come off poor routes by MG.

And his game has not upped or evolved to bigger, higher level. Frankly he is a lesser player since his post ACL
And to top it off, that ill-timed re-signed big contract is problematic for a guy that is batting for a 3rd- 4th WR role.

It could be that Cowboys are willing to take a dead cap hit , just to move on from him - and invest in other WRs
per Tolbert and the NFL draft which is said to loaded with regarded WR depth

Jerry Jeuddy just got traded for a 5th and a 6th. He is both faster and younger then Gallop. In other words Gallop is worth a bag of expired Doritos.

The problem with Jeudy it is a One year deal. You have to pay him. Gallup has already been paid so you can manipulate his hit and Dallas likely eats a big portion of it

Cap Boy loves his dead money hits.

Doesn't have to actually spend money (third lowest cash-spending team) but they have no cap room so Stepehen can blame that for not being able to pay players.

You’re probably right. But for the $21 mil they just saved on Gallup n Martin they could sign Z. Moss, D. Foreman, L. David and D. Reader.

Rel

No but I have seen him try to get separation off the gauntlet line of scrimmage, and it hasn't been great!! Hence his release/trade

Release or trade? He was in college last season.

Signing other teams players also requires learning who they are.

Here you’ve got one guy doing actual GM study, and another who decides if that player is worth what they are asking, yet did not participate in that process. Add another who can overrule everyone if he wants to just because who pays much more attention to making money elsewhere.

Lately I’m wondering why I ever wondered why this doesn’t work and why they haven’t added a significant FA in a decade and a half.
