Signed by Cowboys Gallup signs deal

[Bowdown27]

I wonder what the cap hit will be this year.

Min salary + prorated signing bonus is my guess

 

[Bowdown27]

Min salary + prorated signing bonus is my guess

That would be solid.

 

[Sydla]

Now let’s draft Chris Olave and be set at WR.

Yeah nothing says solid roster building like using three of your last four 1st round picks on WRs.

This would be idiotic.

Not a bad deal, $12.5 mill avg. More than I thought he would get but good for him and hopefully us.
But, time will tell if his knee gives him problems going forward.
Gallup is a good guy and hope he will maintain his hops after the injury.

Given what the Chargers just paid Mike Williams, this was a good deal. I'm sure it's a backloaded deal that has an "out" in a couple of years too.

 

[unionjack8]

Over 5 years? That’s awesome

I'm guessing that it's over 3 years(the guaranteed portion)

 

[conner01]

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

Yep
The real story is the structure
I will say I wouldn’t have paid 12.5 mil per year for Gallup but you really can’t judge a contract till you know the details because they are rarely what they seem

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Also the Cowboys are said to be very satisfied with Gallup's medicals. He'll be full-go by August.

Probably back loaded and cap friendly first 2 years

Exactly. Year 4 and 5 will be like 16-18

I love the player from the slot, but Lamb has been a slot guy so far. Do we think he’s a top outside guy or do we find a WR on the outside and keep Lamb in the slot? I’m usually a best player available guy, but I’m not sure I want another WR in round one when a top G or C may be there.

If Olave is there I’d take him
But he likely won’t
Most important thing is forget about position or need and just take the best player. If he’s there he would likely be the best player but I think he’s gonna be long gone

So dumb

How so ?

 

[Landryhat73]

If (Big if) Gallups ACL report look clean and he can get back to 100% this contract is a bargain.

 

[Doomsday]

$12.5 million per year, eh? Stephen played hardball, again.

You can't look at the total like that, we need to see the yearly breakdown and how much guaranteed money he got.

Gallup is getting a lengthy deal coming off a Week 17 ACL tear, so there's likely some protections built in for the Cowboys. The Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken reports that the contract has $27 million in guarantees. This is a big contract for a wideout who hasn't cracked 1,000 yards since 2019 and who hasn't been wildly efficient. Gallup figures to be the Dallas WR2 behind Ceedee Lamb now that Amari Cooper is traded, and should be the third option in the passing offense behind Lamb and Dalton Schultz. Gallup reportedly suffered a "clean ACL tear" in January, but he's still a candidate for the PUP list early in camp.

Almost laughable we just handed a guy 62 million with a bum knee.

He's barely played the last 2 years.

Hope this works

Wow if true there huge…I thought our resident doctors said he wouldn’t even start the season healthy.

In a way the knee injury probably helped keep him in Dallas. If he was healthy right now he could have gotten a lot more in my opinion.

 

[noletime95]

How so ?

Number is too big. I don’t think he’s earned that payday
