Signed by Cowboys Gallup signs deal

[LatinMind]

Wait to see how it’s broken down , probably a deal like coopers

He will have a very low first yr capital. Back end that he won't see with bigger base salaries

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.

calf injury and a torn acl. Wouldn’t call that a rash of injuries lol. 12.5 is a bargain for a player of his talent level period. Not expecting good wrs to play for 7M a year

 

[Jstopper]

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.

go do some research

That would have been pretty rare. The 1990s teams were decimated by free agency.

I was talking about the teams in the 1960's and 1970's...

I like Gallup and I think he helps this team but that is some serious cash for his skill set. Are there any WRs with a similar contract we can compare this to?

 

[Kingofholland]

The Christian Kirk deal definitely makes the Gallup contract look much better. 2 players with almost identical career production that I thought would get similar contracts.

I don't why the Jaguars just didn't get in on the Amari sweepstakes.

1 injury that kept him out 8 weeks followed a month later by an injury to sideline him 6 months isn’t a rash of injuries to you? Boy I’d hate to see what injury prone guys are to you. Basically just Sean Lee?

do you not see what happens around the league? It’s a physical sport. Guys get hurt. No 2 injuries doesn’t magically make Gallup an injury prone player or have a rash of injuries

Christian Kirk just got 21M a year. Go look at his stats. You guys aren’t realizing 12.5M is nothing for a WR. Those guys make money

So the breakdown of the contract hasn’t come out yet?

There is no reason to believe that either injury is chronic.

Sean Lee was a LBer.

 

[Jfconrow]

It's probably a 2/3 year deal in all honesty

Yea and he’ll be recovering his first year so that money is for him to rehab next year and play a couple years after that. I like Gallup, I just don’t like how they pay the players after injury.

really very intelligent answer.

You wrote your post I was referring to before the contract details were known.

But I think you know that yourself. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to distract from it with such stupid comments.

good news

They do that because the player is cheaper then and the Joneses love a bargain.

So I was right? You’re welcome
