Commanders sign WR Michael Gallup

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Washington Commanders signed wide receiver Michael Gallup to a contract on Thursday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed for Gallup, who returns to the NFL after he retired last offseason.

Gallup, 29, was released from the Las Vegas Raiders’ reserve/retired list earlier this month. He signed a one-year contract with the Raiders in April 2024 but opted to retire on the eve of the team’s first practice at training camp in July.

With Washington, Gallup will see a familiar face in head coach Dan Quinn, who was the defensive coordinator in Dallas in 2023.

Gallup will join Commanders wide receivers Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey.

Gallup had 266 catches for 3,744 yards and 21 touchdowns in 86 career games (67 starts) with the Cowboys. His best season was in 2019, when he had 66 receptions for 1,107 yards and six scores.

The third-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Colorado State sustained a torn left ACL on Jan. 2, 2022, while making a touchdown catch against the Arizona Cardinals. In his final two seasons with the Cowboys, he had his lowest yardage totals of his career: 424 in 2022 and 418 in 2023.

WR Michael Gallup eyes comeback after brief retirement

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Former NFL wide receiver Michael Gallup is ending his retirement and seeking a return to the league, NFL Network reported.

Gallup, who retired last offseason, was released from the Las Vegas Raiders’ reserve/retired list on Friday. He signed a one-year contract with the team in April 2024 but opted to retire on the eve of the team’s first practice at training camp in July.

Gallup, 29, had 266 catches for 3,744 yards and 21 touchdowns in 86 career games (67 starts) with the Dallas Cowboys, who released him last March in a cost-cutting move.

His best season was in 2019, when he had 66 receptions for 1,107 yards and six scores.

The third-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Colorado State sustained a torn left ACL on Jan. 2, 2022, while making a touchdown catch against the Arizona Cardinals. In his final two seasons with the Cowboys, he had his lowest yardage totals of his career: 424 in 2022 and 418 in 2023.

Reports: Raiders signing WR Michael Gallup

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Wide receiver Michael Gallup is signing a one-year, $3 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, multiple media outlets reported.

Gallup was released by the Dallas Cowboys last month, clearing $9.5 million in salary cap space, ending his six-year stint with the team.

With Las Vegas, Gallup likely would serve as the third receiver on the depth chart behind All-Pro Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.

Gallup, 28, had 34 catches for a career-low 418 yards and two touchdowns last season.

He had big seasons in 2019 and 2020 when he combined for 125 receptions, 1,950 yards and 11 touchdowns. He has totaled 266 catches for 3,744 yards and 21 touchdowns since being selected by Dallas in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) turned in his third straight full practice and is considered questionable for Monday’s game.

Defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna (neck) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Saturday and is questionable.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup takes ‘full’ reps Wednesday

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Michael Gallup could be ready to assume his role as the Dallas Cowboys No. 2 wide receiver on Monday night.

Head coach Mike McCarthy said Gallup would practice without limitations on Wednesday for the first time since tearing the ACL in his left knee on Jan. 2.

“Michael Gallup will take a full slate of reps this week,” McCarthy said.

Gallup was hurt in a 25-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and underwent surgery in February, then re-signed as a free agent in March.

He finished with 35 catches for 445 yards and two touchdowns in nine games last season.

Gallup has 193 receptions for 2,902 yards and 15 scores in 55 career games (43 starts) since being selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Cowboys (1-1) play at the New York Giants (2-0) on Monday night.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup out (knee); QB Dak Prescott full go

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Dallas Cowboys got some good and bad injury news Friday, as quarterback Dak Prescott went through a full practice Friday and was removed from the injury report while wide receiver Michael Gallup was declared out for Sunday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Prescott was limited in practice a day before after leaving early with an ankle injury with what Cowboys owner Jerry Jones termed as “discomfort.” But he appears a full go for the team’s season opener at home.

Gallup will not be in uniform Sunday night, although that is not entirely unexpected as he continues his path back from a torn ACL sustained early this year. Dallas had chosen not to place Gallup on the reserve-injured list to allow for the chance that he could return within the first four weeks of the season.

Jones has touted Jalen Tolbert, a third-round pick out of South Alabama in April, over the summer as the team also copes with the offseason loss of Amari Cooper, who was dealt to the Cleveland Browns months earlier.

The Cowboys added safety Jayron Kearse to Friday’s injury report after he sat out practice because of a neck ailment. Cornerback Jourdan Lewis (hamstring) returned to a full practice after being limited since Wednesday.

For the Buccaneers, receivers Chris Godwin (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) were listed as questionable for Sunday, while cornerback Zyon McCollum will be out against Dallas with a hamstring injury.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup won’t go on PUP list

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup, recovering from a torn ACL sustained early this year, will not be placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list to open the season.

Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said Wednesday he expects Gallup to be on the 53-man roster, despite tearing his left ACL on Jan. 2. Further, Gallup had surgery in February.

That means Gallup would be eligible to play in Week 1 as opposed to missing the first four games of the season.

“We just don’t want to do anything that would put him in some kind of category that would limit us from getting him in the first game,” Jones told reporters.

Jones also said he likes the receiver corps as is, saying there’s no room on the roster to add another receiver. He noted the emergence of rookie Jalen Tolbert, the Cowboys’ third-round pick in this year’s draft. Tolbert sits atop the depth chart at wideout with CeeDee Lamb and Gallup.

Nobody expects Gallup to be ready for Week 1, not even Gallup.

“That’s not a reasonable possibility,” Gallup said last month.

Gallup, 26, sustained his injury in Dallas’ 25-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in the penultimate game of the 2021 season.

He finished with 35 catches for 445 yards and two touchdowns in nine games last season.

Gallup has 193 receptions for 2,902 yards and 15 scores in 55 career games (43 starts) since being selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Colorado State.

The Cowboys gave Gallup a five-year, $57.5 million extension in March, including a $10 million signing bonus.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup does not expect to play in Week 1

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is progressing in his recovery from a torn ACL, but that doesn’t mean he will be ready for the team’s season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 11.

“That’s not a reasonable possibility,” Gallup said on Thursday.

Gallup, 26, sustained his injury in Dallas’ 25-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Jan. 2 and underwent surgery to repair his left knee the following month.

He finished with 35 catches for 445 yards and two touchdowns in nine games last season.

Gallup has 193 receptions for 2,902 yards and 15 scores in 55 career games (43 starts) since being selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Reports: Cowboys re-sign WR Michael Gallup to 5-year deal

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Dallas Cowboys have reached agreement with injured wide receiver Michael Gallup on a five-year, $62.5 million extension, multiple outlets reported Sunday.

The deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, per the reports.

Gallup, 26, underwent surgery last month to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. He’s expected to be ready to return in September.

Gallup injured his knee in Dallas’ 25-22 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Jan. 2. The 2018 third-round pick by the Cowboys finished the 2021 season with 35 receptions for 445 yards and two touchdowns.

In 55 career games (43 starts) for Dallas, Gallup has 193 catches for 2,902 yards and 15 touchdowns. The Colorado State product is a pending unrestricted free agent, but the Cowboys can still work out a deal with him by March 16.

The deal comes a day after the Cowboys agreed to trade Amari Cooper to Cleveland.

Report: Cowboys ‘likely’ to release WR Amari Cooper

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Dallas Cowboys “likely” will release wide receiver Amari Cooper by the start of the new league year later this month, ESPN reported on Friday.

Cooper is due $20 million in fully guaranteed money on March 20, the fifth day of the new league year.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones previously called out Cooper for failing to produce on the level expected given his salary on the heels of a $100 million contract extension.

Cooper, 27, caught 68 passes for 865 yards and a career high-tying eight touchdowns in 15 games last season. His totals in receptions and receiving yards trailed team leader CeeDee Lamb (79, 1,102 yards), while his touchdown total matched tight end Dalton Schultz for the club lead.

Fellow wideout Michael Gallup is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on March 16. His availability for the start of next season is in question after he tore his ACL on Jan. 2.

A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Cooper has 517 catches for 7,076 yards with 46 touchdowns in 108 career games with the then-Oakland Raiders and Cowboys. He was selected by the Raiders with the fourth overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft.

The Cowboys acquired Cooper in October 2018, sending a first-round pick in the 2019 draft.
