Twitter: Michael Gallup retiring

[zrinkill]

60 year old man saying “duh!”…..disturbs me for some reason….

60?????

Hell I am younger than Jerry was when he fathered that child he abandoned.


I say Duh because of your inability to see nuance.

Ok.

Good luck MG.

Next stop ... Ring of Honor .... Jerry will announce it at the presser on Saturday.

I think I’d rather have Cooks on his salary then Coop on his but I’d rather have both lol

I don't care about salaries. I care about play. Plenty of teams have shown over the years that the salaries don't matter as much as how you manage them.

Plenty of teams have shown it but the Cowboys aren’t like plenty of teams. They’ve shown you who and what they are. You may not care about salaries but they sure as hell do.

Didn't say the Cowboys know what they are doing. Free agency clearly shows they do not. That doesn't mean there weren't ways to keep Cooper and even reduce his salary with an extension rather than pay Gallup, who was coming off injury and had not proven to be better than Cooper.

They didn’t want Cooper. For what reason? I think many have assumed but we never got an answer. They structured his deal so they could get from under it sooner rather than later and they for sure did it.

Should have kept Cooper would have made a huge difference.

Quitter

Good job he did on the two bozo Jones boys getting that last deal coming off his injury.

Michael spoke on this in an interview a year or so ago on the team website. Essentially said Jerry called him in without his agent and said he would like to extend him. Gallup was worried he was getting cut or asked to take a payout since he had just torn the ACL, so naturally he was shocked that Jerry wanted to extend him.

Jerry Dumbo GM Jones let's go a no.1 WR, Amari Cooper who had a sweet heart contract, tries to replace him with a one leg WR signed to a multiple year contract, Jerry has lost his Lamb, and leverage on Lamb he could have had with Amari Cooper resigned for less than the $25M per year.

Best wishes to Gallup.

Gosh what a mistake re-signing him was.

Hopefully the FO has learned that you should not sign guys coming off an ACL injury to a long term
Deal.

As great as surgery and sports medicine has gotten, you still just don’t know. Some players are still never the same post injury.

This.

Now we're going to find out what Diggs looks like. Hope I'm wrong, but am not expecting much.

 

[jay94]

I said he would be out of the league with in 2 years, he must be disappointed in himself to retire early. What he doesn't realize now, no matter what job he gets in the future won't be for the amount he can make now, unless he strikes gold.

cough cough diggs

 

[VaqueroTD]

It’s what they’re best at.

They also have a fetish for signing guys coming off injuries.

We got 73 catches, 840 yards, and 6 TDs out of Gallup after signing his deal.

Meanwhile, Amari Cooper in his two years since leaving has 150 catches, 2,400 yards, and 14 TDs.

And he took his contract numbers down for Cleveland.

 

[Manster_Mash]

one kept his mouth shut.

And that's what gets rewarded here. Tow the company line, be one of the guys. To hell with production.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Just remember this is who we paid and kept instead of Amari.

Not really. Cowboys traded Cooper for a reason.

 

[Robster8989]

I swear Jerry did it just to spite Amari

cough cough diggs

cough cough, Steele.

 

[mattjames2010]

Yeah, was never the same after the tear. Shows how close the levels are in this league, lose just a slight step and it takes you from being a #2 WR to struggling to get separation even from the worst corners in the league.

 

[buybuydandavis]

As I predicted years ago, Peak Gallup was the game Dak went down. Shoulda traded him then.

WR#2s are often mirages created by WR#1, although TWill and Gallup simply evaporating from the league were more miragey than most.
