The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday night that the team has placed wide receiver Michael Gallup on the reserve/retired list. After six seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, the 28-year-old Gallup signed a one-year pact with the Raiders, where he amassed 266 receptions for 3,744 yards and 21 touchdowns. Gallup's 2023 saw his statistics take a sharp decline, with just 34 receptions, 418 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. The Raiders signed Gallup to add some depth to a receiving corps that, after Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers, was short on experience and a veteran presence. Instead, Gallup has called it a career before Raiders training camp opens on Wednesday.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, free-agent wide receiver Michael Gallup intends to ink a deal with the Raiders. The Cowboys released the wideout mid-March, saving the club nearly $10 million. But he's now heading to Las Vegas, where he will reportedly sign a one-year, $3 million contract. Gallup's best season was in 2019, with the 28-year-old amassing 1,107 yards and six touchdowns off 66 receptions. Since then, his production has declined. Gallup also tore his ACL late in 2021, which hindered his chances of turning things around. With that said, Gallup could have trouble getting consistently involved in Vegas, considering he'll presumably be behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers on the depth chart. The quarterback situation also won't help his fantasy potential. Yet, Gallup could have a few decent outings with the Raiders, and his stock will rise if Adams or Meyers goes down with an injury at some point during the 2024-25 campaign.
The Baltimore Ravens have reportedly scheduled a visit with free-agent wide receiver Michael Gallup. The veteran wideout was recently cut by the Dallas Cowboys after another quiet season in 2023. Despite that, Gallup appears to have multiple interested suitors as the Carolina Panthers have scheduled a visit as well. The 28-year-old hasn't produced a season with more than 445 receiving yards since the 2020 season. Hopefully, a change of scenery will help Gallup get his career back on track.
The Carolina Panthers are set to bring in former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup for a visit next week, according to a source. Even though the Panthers acquired receiver Diontae Johnson from the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this week, they continue to look to add weapons on offense after quarterback Bryce Young struggled mightily in his rookie season in 2023. In addition to Gallup, the Panthers will visit with Mike Williams (knee), who was recently released by the Los Angeles Chargers for salary cap purposes. The 28-year-old Gallup would join Johnson, Adam Thielen and Jonathan Mingo if he were to sign with the Panthers. Gallup had 1,000 yards in his sophomore season in 2019 in Dallas but has been on the decline since and hasn't had more than 445 receiving yards in each of the last three seasons.
The Dallas Cowboys are releasing veteran wide receiver Michael Gallup, according to Michael Gehlken on the Dallas Morning News. Gallup, a 2018 third-round pick, has struggled to produce since his 1,107-yard season in 2019. Since that year, the 28-year-old has not eclipsed 850 yards in a single season, and he's produced fewer than 500 yards in each of the last three campaigns. He will likely have a few interest suitors on the open market, but it'd be surprising if he becomes a No. 2 wide receiver with a new organization. Instead, he's probably headed for a WR3 or WR4 role in 2024, leaving him off the fantasy football radar in most formats.
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.
Michael Gallup Goes Over 100 Yards All Of A Sudden In The Playoffs
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.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. Gallup has made just seven total catches in his past five games, and has scored just two touchdowns all season. The Cowboys passing game runs through CeeDee Lamb with a little help from Brandin Cooks and Jake Ferguson. Gallup has a blocking role on the real offense, but that's not helpful in fantasy lineups. He should remain on the waiver wire in almost all formats.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup continued to struggle in a Week 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Gallup was targeted twice in the passing game and made both catches, but ended up gaining a total of just four yards. It was another poor performance in a season that's unfortunately been full of them for Gallup, who has now seemingly fallen behind Jalen Tolbert in the Dallas wide receiver pecking order. He's no longer worth rostering in any formats, in case anyone's still holding on for some reason.
