Honestly I’d make him inactive. Brooks and Tolbert are much better.

Can we leave Gallup alone for now? Bigger things are on the mind. Lots of decisions need to be made......but after the season is over.

I think I will just focus on the upcoming playoffs and how he can help. Salary cap / roster stuff can wait.

They will need to cut him but it will be a June 1st cap casualty to spread the half of dead money into 2025. I also think LVE, Anger, and Rush could be cap casualties depending on how they feel about Lance.

Why would they dump one of the best P's in the NFL. Or seems to be one of the best. Not sure what his stats are.

definitely would be a june 1 otherwise saving 800k doesn't make a lot of sense.

LVE is around 20 for mlb contracts. i think he stays. the run game took a big hit when he went out imo. Anger is a pro bowler and living up to his contract imo. i could see rush but i know they love him.

You know some of you need to watch the all 22s and realize that Gallup draws coverage away from CeeDee. The guy runs full out every play, we have 3 WRs and a TE who all demand coverage. Why do you think CeeDee has huge RAC.
Lol, right. CeeDee Lamb is who he is because of... Michael Gallup.

Why do you think CeeDee has huge RAC. If you can redo our current WR corp contracts and keep them intact you'd be hard pressed to do better . If you want to take this offense to the next level. HIRE A DAMN OL COACH.
Lol no he doesn't, it's why he plays less than 40% of snaps.

His success has always been beating man coverage vertically, and he doesn't do that anymore. He has no utility.

Cowboys save cap space by cutting him.

He is gone.

Tolbert can do what Gallup does for a fraction of the cost.

LVE - $2.5m
Rush - $2.25m
Anger - $3m
Gallup (post June-1) - $9.5m

~$17m savings and you haven't hurt the roster at all.

I assume they'll also restructure Diggs - which is another $7.9m.

I think enough of the guaranteed money has hit that cap now and this offseason is the time to cut him. I think he is an asset to the team as there are only so many targets you are going to get when your #1 leads the league in receptions and you have a pretty good #2 as well, but his salary just exceeds his usefulness by too much and now that his dead money is less than his base it's time to let him go as a post 6/1 cut.

Not half. His 2024 dead money will be $4.35M and his 2025 dead money will be $8.7M

Wait, you are proposing cutting Anger as being a smart move? Not me
and you save $2.2M by doing so, not 3 (he has $800K in SB that hasn't hit the cap yet). Now add another punter at a little over $1M to replace him and you save $1M. No thanks

No, you save $3m.

Why do you have to spend more than $1m on a punter?

Dallas should be getting rid of everyone associated with special teams except for the kicker.

No, Anger's cap hit is $3.8MM in 2024. If you cut him, you save the full $3MM base salary but have to account for the $800K signing bonus prorated.

Sorry, I was looking at his 2023 salary. My point still holds. No way I'm cutting Anger for such little savings. He is one of the best around. Those extra 5 plus yards per punt over a crappy punter could mean the other team punting instead of kicking a FG a bunch of times per year

Gallup looks like he's gave up. He's never bounced back after the acl tear. He's taking up a valuable roster spot. Time to go.
More importantly he's taking up valuable cap space.
He needs to take a pay cut to stay with the team.
