Signed by Cowboys Gallup signs deal

[Beast_from_East]

Thats a ridiculous comment - where does the other 35 million go? It hits the cap!

Wow, somebody does not understand the difference between guaranteed and non-guaranteed money.

If Gallup is traded or released before his contract expires, only the guaranteed money will count against the cap. Why do you think Cooper was traded and our cap went up $20 million? Because he had no guaranteed money left on his deal, although his 2022 pay would convert to guaranteed money on the 5th day of the new league year. That is why they had to make a move with Cooper before then.

When looking at contracts, never just look at the total of the contract. Agents like to add huge amounts to the end of the deal to make it look really impressive in order to attract more clients, but everybody knows the player will almost certainly never see that money. Only thing that really matters on contracts is the guaranteed money, that is what really affects your cap.

And you think Wilson is better then him?

Right now? Yes. I'm also taking into consideration which WR is better for Dak.

 

[Jstopper]

Had Gallup signed the rumored team friendly I’d be good but at this number no thanks

Some of you guys either have unrealistic expectations of what "hometown discount" means (thinking players are gonna play for peanuts) , or you're lacking awareness of how much people are paid around the league. Getting a #2 WR with Gallups stats at 12.5 is a home run.

 

[Jstopper]

Gallop aint worth that kind of money healthy much less coming off a bad injury Stupidness is a necessity in Dallas We need Wilson signed!!~

Get a clue. Look at what #2 WRs are paid in the NFL. I swear the Cowboys have the least educated fans in the league

 

[Jstopper]

Wowwww. This will be the next dead-money hit we'll be trying to get out from under.

His dead money hit would be very reasonable. Why do our fans just run their mouths without having knowledge?

It's sticker shock. The franchise amount for a WR is $19m. So IOW he is making ~60% of what top WR make. Seems reasonable to me.

 

[beware_d-ware]

If I am Gallup, I am also very happy about the guaranteed money I made.

50-60% guaranteed is the normal negotiating range for big contracts so that's nothing unusual, but the 5 year deal means he gets $27M guaranteed total. That's a big haul compared to say a 1 year prove-it deal.

 

[CowboyoWales]

And the cap is going up with the huge TV-rights deals the NFL has signed.

Well sort of!!! There's certainly expected to be a jump in the CAP, but a lot of that is taken by Daks 2023-2024 and then over $20m Void money in 2025.
What the Gallup/Coop scenario has done is made everything manageable and allows us to operate without extending the those dreadful aging injury hit contracts.
We have taken the CAP medicine this year so that our debts are manageable from here on...even may be able to afford a couple of treats in a year or two....all of this and we are still the favorites to win the Least (the dream that this roster were SB bound died in January).

Dak will be getting restructured again next season. Not doing it is probably not even a consideration.

Sensible option to apportion to 2025 or even 2026, yes Void money but we've always operated with some dead money.
The 'crisis' was 2022 and 2023.
As it stands the annual Zack and Dak monies will fund additions in 2023.

His dead money hit would be very reasonable. Why do our fans just run their mouths without having knowledge?

Dont want to be offensive but how do you know that his dead money hit would be very reasonable ? The details of his deal are not public right now.

The only part that was published is that his guaranteed money is 27 mils. That could mean guaranteed, it could also be fully guaranteed. Latter means it could be his signing bonus (that figure btw was anticipiated by some mediots).

But right now nobody knows. If the 27 mils is his signing bonus then i have to agree with the former poster you answered to: He would be hard to be cut in his first 3 years because of the dead money it would leave behind. And that would mean this is another bad deal for us. Especially for a player coming from a bigger injury.

BTW: Its not ok to me to title others to run their mouth without any knowledge but then in the same sentence do the same.

The details I have seen so far

• 5 year - 62.5m
• 10m signing bonus
• 27m guaranteed

That suggests to me that two years are guaranteed as something like:

• Signing bonus 10m
  • Year 1 - 4m
  • Year 2 - 13m (set to be restructured)
  • Year 3 - 11.5m
  • Year 4 - 12m
  • Year 5 - 12m

 

[visionary]

Won't be ready to start yet season? Ain't the 80s no more. Grandad

might wanna take the blinky out of your mouth and pay attention to reports

 

[atlantacowboy]

God I hate this front office.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Right now? Yes. I'm also taking into consideration which WR is better for Dak.

Gallup is your only deep threat. Take him away and you have who exactly?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

God I hate this front office.

Where are you getting he’s only 4 million more? Gallups cap hit should be far less than the 20 million Amari had.

Not nearly as bad as I thought. I thought he’d get a much bigger deal even with the injury.

Notice the two guarantee years end just in time to deal with Lamb's new contract........

Oh for sure. It’s structured a way they can potentially get from under it.

That’s before his rash of injuries. I’d prefer not paying 12.5 for a player that won’t be 100% his first year and then is nearing 30 after that.
