RELEASED Cowboys release Michael Gallup

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Thank you for the memories Mike!

Made some big time plays for this team over his career.

 

[Mr_437]

No one would give you anything? Thats odd

They don't call other teams, it's beneath them apparently.

 

[Sydla]

Now having cut him, watch him have a big rebound year somewhere else. While whatever cheap Allen Hurns level FA we sign or whatever 5th round WR we take just sucks.

Hahahaha.

I think the so called regular season success will be hard to come by in the next few seasons.

They win 10 with the roster as its currently constructed if they make a few simple additions and change their run game philosphy I could see 12 again if the defense got better maybe lady luck shines

 

[Mark]

LVE gone too.

 

[starfan1]

When Cooper was traded for just a fifth and Gallop was extended it there absolutely posters here who said good riddance and Gallop is younger and better.

I would post who but then I would get benched …..

i would bump those threads but then I would get benched ….

So feel free to just disagree with me.

fair enough I guess i missed it

 

[CowboyChris]

I think he becomes a Commander soon, what do you guys think?

 

[Motorola]

Following Gallup's production this past season...this move was gonna be "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" this year.
(Reference to a 1970s hit by the great Stevie Wonder)

 

[NotForLong]

On par with being a former WR for Dak

 

[noshame]

Countdown to Washington.

 

[Philmonroe]

Id love to know who said that cause i heard very little of that.In fact I heard many say that it was a mistake signing him especially with the injury. and that cooper wore out his welcome and dissapeared in big games

Yeah folks love lying online for some strange reason. It was most likely one or two people that said that if any but the poster makes it seem like that was the majority sentiment smh.

 

[SinceDayOne]

Should have given that money they used to sign Gallup to keep Cooper and let Gallup go a couple of years ago. Even I could see that back then. But, hey, Gallup was coming off a serious leg injury and Jones and Son seem to be fond of players that have a nice limp.

 

[KJJ]

This is a silly argument, he "showed up" after we were down 4 scores because GB was playing soft.

Regardless how soft GB was playing Gallup was targeted 6 times and caught all 6 and averaged 17 yards a catch. He displayed effort throughout the game despite the beating we were taking.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Gallup, LVE cut. Jerry and Stephen must have finally waken up and want to sign someone.

Gallup hinted at some good things to come but was never the same after the injury. Just an occasional downfield big play guy.

Had some real nasty drops first half of last year, but thought he came on strong near the end of season.

No brainer, can find someone cheaper to do the same. Best of luck on your new team Gallup. I'm sure he'll get at least one more chance to play.

 

[unionjack8]

Wait, did we designate him a June 1 cut?

Yes

 

[plymkr]

It frees up $9 million. But won't go into effect until June 1st.

Thank you

 

[cej757]

And then repeated the exact same mistake with Steele.

Please... This goes back to the last Romo contract. Romo was clearly breaking down physically and Jerry and Stephen were talking about Romo could play until he was 40. Smh

 

[Jayinem]

LOL. Have you met our owners/GMs?

Well you know they don't reach out to players or other teams. I guess that's why they gave him permission to seek a trade. Royalty doesn't call peasants.

 

[Big_D]

Another of "their guys" over paid. Just the way it is here. If you're coming off an injury even better. Break a leg if want the big bucks.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Gallup was still better than Tolbert. He was our only WR to show up in the playoffs. We continue to lose talent. We’re going to be banking on a lot of young players next season.

For better or worse, it looks like you're right. I'm ok with it. We're either looking at an infusion of younger, cheaper talent filling starting roles, or a high draft slot to start a rebuild with a new coach. If we continue down this road, I'm interested to see who steps up. There are some nice prospect along the offensive line, as well as the secondary I'd like to see develop further.
