Gallup to Raiders

[Texas_Pete]

Any chance at a comp pick for MG13's departure?

I had very high hopes for this guy. I thought he was going to be good. Real Good.

Just was never the same after the energy. Different culture out in Oakland with Antonio Pierce.....hope he sticks. Good guy and he'll always be a Cowboy.....rooting for him.

Ya I agree but oh well. hindsight is 20/20 but we picked the wrong guy to pay. Thats a classic symtom of jerry disease

Another example how pathetic this organization is when they trade Cooper, a top ten receiver and resigned Gallop to a deal coming off a serious injury....

Best GM in football.

I have a hunch Gallup is not done.

these are the ones though that I cant come down on the front office for. I 100% was thrilled with this guy early on and I thought he would blossom into a star WR. So I have to be fair. I can't change my tune because it didnt work out.

That injury really set him back. He's lucky to have played under the worst GM in the NFL and was able to get a decent contract when he did.

No, you cut him. Only comp picks for expiring contracts (if the player was signed before April 29th)

A pathetic division winner.

The Cowboys hit on a 3rd round receiver. Not bad.

 

[zrinkill]

Thank God

 

[Creeper]

That's a huge salary cut for him. I wish him well.

I don't understand why players ask for so much money only to be cut once they get it, then they take a lot less money to sign with another team. I guess getting one payday means a lot to them. Personally, I think there is value in longevity too.

 

[CWR]

I think we should have kept him for 1 more year. They're still paying 13M for him.

I was a Gallup believer, but I think they saved like 8 million on the cap. He had to go.

I liked Gallup too. The problem was they opted to dump Cooper and give Gallup an extension even after he had just suffered a serious ACL injury.

That part isn’t hindsight, it was another poor decision.

Gallup has some value; Gallup will likely be better another year removed from his injury.

However.....

We paid him way too much and way too early while he was injured, at a time no one else would have paid him.
The front office pays the so so guys too early and too much, but they let the stars wait to see what the market brings and end up paying them more than they should have.

If he wasn't on such a ridiculous contract for a #3 receiver, I'm sure we would have kept him.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Wish him all the best.

Really liked him and his skillset, some nice catches there on the sidelines. He was a lot of fun to watch. But never recovered 100% from his injury.

Don't mind him being gone but wish him all the best at the same time. Cya MG!

They saved 800k on the cap. Cap hit, 13-8M, dead cap 13M. They saved money because it is spread out over 2 years. But they're still paying it.
