Michael Gallup's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup was given permission to seek a trade. According to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas News, the situation is tough as NFL teams expect the Cowboys to release Gallup this offseason. The 28-year-old has three seasons remaining after signing a five-year, $57.5 million extension with the Cowboys in 2022. Dallas could free up to nine million in cap space if Gallup is released post-June 1. He caught 34 passes for 418 yards and two touchdowns over 17 games last season. The former third-round pick hasn't topped 500 receiving yards since 2020. Gallup will search for a trade partner but is unlikely to return to Dallas in 2024.

The Athletic's Jon Machota suggests that wide receiver Michael Gallup is a potential cut candidate this offseason. The 27-year-old has three years left on the five-year, $57.5 million extension he signed in March of 2022. He was coming off a season-ending knee injury when he signed that deal, and he hasn't been the same player since. Gallup averaged 975 receiving yards and 5.5 touchdowns per season in 2019 and 2020, but he hasn't had more than 445 yards in a season since. He caught all six of his targets for 103 yards in the wild-card loss to the Packers, his best game of the last two years. If Dallas cuts Gallup before June, they'll be left with $13 million in dead-cap money in 2024, which would only save them around $800,000 in 2024 because his cap hit for 2024 is $13.85 million. A pay cut is probably coming for Gallup if he's not released.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup gained over 100 yards all of a sudden in the Wild Card Weekend loss to the Green Bay Packers. Gallup was targeted six times, making all six catches for 103 yards, including a long gain of 42 yards. It was the first 100-yard game of the season for Gallup, but it was ultimately not enough to keep the Cowboys season alive. Gallup disappeared for most of the season and despite this solid playoff performance, will probably be way down on most draft boards next season.
