RELEASED Cowboys release Michael Gallup

[kevm3]

This team is a clownshow. I bet we'll get nothing when Micah, Dak and Ceedee walk as well

Sure but it's not like you guys aren't eating or eventually going to eat big cap hits either. You had to take one for Wentz when he was playing in Indy.

Yeah but there was incentive to move on from him, namely a 1 and a 3. And he was at the beginning of his deal, Gallup was at the end. Maybe it’s more the structure of his contract I’m chastising than the move itself. How does he have so much dead cap left when it was only a 3 year deal and he already completed 2 of them?

You can’t get compensation for trash you don’t want.

Which is exactly why the Bears haven't been able to unload Justin Fields on anybody.....teams are waiting to get him for free to use as a backup

He sucks. And lve need retire. Get me a real
Wr #2

Not to worry.. Stephen is on the case.

The problem is Cowboys don’t trade talent. Coop is the only one and I honestly can’t even speak why teams didn’t want to offer more.

But if Cowboys traded Micah or Lamb they’d get a nice haul. You can’t get compensation for trash you don’t want.

Remember when the Bengals were offering a 2nd rd pick for Martellus Bennett and Jerry said no? Martellus ended up walking for nothing in free agency. This is the stuff you can't make up with this Front office.

Who made the decision to trade Cooper and then resign Gallup coming off of in ACL injury?

 

[exciter]

How much does this impact the cap?

13.8m cap hit, 13 and change dead cap hit.. 6-700k without June 1 designation!

Howie is on the phone with his agent right now.

 

[baltcowboy]

He was better than Cooper

I was told so by posters here

I want names.

That really is what is boils down to.

All conjecture... who knows if CeeDee grows into the #1 with Coop still here. Battling egos and all that... but yeah, starts to look like Coop vs Gallup instead of Coop vs CeeDee, ESPECIALLY after the Browns re-negotiated his contract down closer to Gallup numbers.

Ignoring his contract, Gallup was a decent depth piece. He isn't a starting caliber WR, but he's not garbage either. I understand releasing him for cap reasons, but this is yet one more hole Dallas has to fill.

You don't the want to know!!

Utter and colossal fail by the FO when they resigned him to that deal.

There was a story about this, on the team website months ago. It could have been one of the podcasts but straight from the horse’s mouth. Gallup admitted that he was shocked when it happened. He actually thought he was about to get cut. This was the offseason after the ACL injury when they gave him the extension.

 

[Acheman08]

They are clearing cap space to extend the jocks and towel guy to a 10 year 100 million contract

The same guys that gave #4 a massive deal after blowing up his ankle.

 

[Cowboyny]

The decision to keep Gallup over Cooper is haunting them on this day. Gallup, the younger/cheaper receiver just never could return to form after tearing his acl. What we saw the last 2 seasons was not a NFL caliber player any longer.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Wow! Just wow, lad!

 

[baltcowboy]

The same guys that gave #4 a massive deal after blowing up his ankle.

They need to resign immediately. The three stooges are no more.

More of the pie for others!!
