Twitter: Cowboys Official Twitter: "Considering Trading Michael Gallup?"

Have not read through all the posts yet.
But the team IS NOT considering trading him.

It is from a question some one asked in the "Mailbag" weekly segment.

I think we can get a first.

Why wouldn't we be able to?

Gallup is cheaper than Cooper was when we traded for him, Gallup has performed better than Cooper with the Raiders, and Gallup has no off the field concerns. Gallup continues to get better and always makes clutch plays when we need them.

Personally, I'd look to trade Lamb before Gallup. I think Gallup has the potential to be better than Lamb or Cooper.

 

no one will take his contract and we can't afford to eat it..he's here to stay.

 

Eat Gallup's contract?

What??

 

I actually think there were many games last year where Gallup was our best and most consistent option

 

another words,,he's likely staying here.

 

Gallup is on a rookie deal.

 

You're right.

 

Mr Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

 

yes I know..but IMO maybe we should look at trading him before it expires.

 

I love Gallup. I became a fan while scouting him for the draft. Can you find a team that is would prefer a proven commodity and is willing to trade a pick or player to get him? probably. But there are just such a supply of receivers that giving up a premium pick isn't likely. Maybe mid season a team believes they have a legit shot at a title is willing to pay a little more before the trade deadline. But I can't see anyone giving up a first.

 

Gallup is a good WR who is going to be in line for an extension. Given that he is a luxury on this team with Lamb and Cooper, Dallas will likely let him test the market and he'll be overpaid by some team like the Lions and we'll lose him for nothing in return other than a compensatory pick. If we can get something now within the first 3 rounds or in the form of a S/CB/DL upgrade, I'd say jump on it.

 

We 100% should.

But..

You don't give him away.

We should get a compensation pick regardless I would think.

 

They kind of have to unless they can extend him now for cheap.

He doesn't warrant the franchise tag next year, and they're not going to pay both him and Lamb massive money.

If they don't trade him, he just walks after this season for nothing.

 

Because he only has one year left on his deal and he's not a #1 receiver. C'mon.

And if you think Gallup is better than Lamb, you need to learn some football. It's not even remotely close.

 

He has two years left.

 

They SHOULD have traded him last year to a playoff team like Green Bay that needed receivers, but the Joneses don't have that much foresight.

 

He's only got 1 year left. He's already played 3 years. Since he was a 3rd round pick, he's signed to a 4 year deal.
