I feel that Gallup fell of when he got paid

[RomoIsGod]

I get it he tore his acl. But this is over a year and a half. He doesn't seem to have the drive he once had. Did that big contract ruin him?

Ever tore your knee up? I have and it takes 2+ years to get back feeling comfortable again, especially on the mental side of it. You always feel like you are about to injure it again.

With that said, he does need to be better, at least progress each week.

 

[Jipper]

he had a very bad injury and has just not come back, whether its mental or physcial or some piece, it is what it is. Hes likely gone after this year but he was a bad resigning

He has the best doctors available while guys like me and you don't have that 24/7 care like he does.

I tore mine playing MiLB, we had good doctors too

Whatever the reasons, his contract extension was an awful mistake.

The problem this year is we were told that he was 100% and ready to go. Gallup and the team both said that. I was buying last year but this year something off....so far.

I hear that but we gave him a 3 year deal that may give us 1 year (or zero) production. Hindsight is great but it looks a terrible decision now surely?

While ACL recoveries have come a long way in 30 years I think there's the few that need more time to truly trust their body they are at 100%.
Gallup expanded on that this offseason after his subpar 2022 season but I'm not convinced he's playing up to the level he could be playing at.

Unfortunate, but I don't think he checked out due to the checks he's cashed but still mental over the injury.

He wasn’t great when we paid him, I felt like Jerry really wanted to spite Amari so badly that is part of the reason he gave Gallup a deal and traded Amari to the Browns, the Browns. We would’ve been better off keeping Amari or even Wilson than signing Gallup to his deal as Wilson would’ve been much cheaper and had chemistry with Dak. We are now also stuck with Gallup and couldn’t make any moves to trade for a game changer like DHop or Adams because we are saddled with Gallups deal, which won’t move.

..my initial reaction was,"huh". When I heard Gallup was paid up.

Cooper was gone. So my guess, they placed all chips into making him #1. Which backfired.

I do not believe that is who he is. I do believe that his knee is still not 100% for whatever reason. Yeah you would think that he would be back to 100% by now but body’s are different! He needs to pick it up or let’s start getting some targets to his backup that has been so much improved in year 2, obviously I’m currently forgetting his name! Age or too much Rum?!

I didn’t like it then

It has nothing to do with his drive. Not all players return to form after an ACL. Jason Sehorn was one of the top DBs in the game until he tore his ACL in a preseason game. He was never the same player after that. On the other hand, Michael Irvin had a Hall of Fame career after tearing his ACL.

FO knew what they were doing...this was a contract extension for personal reasons against Amari Cooper

You can't just dismiss a ACL injury lol. Some guys never recover from it. Some do. Gallup doesn't look to be recovering from his he's lost speed and athleticism.

It was simple. He was 12 million and Amari was 20 million and they had a out on his deal.

Making who a #1? Gallup?

Naw. I like Wilson but in hindsight the best move was to get rid of Cooper and not re-sign Wilson and/or Gallup. None of those guys got the contracts they should've. Only problem is they didn't find a Amari replacement and that's what hurt.
