Breaking news: Expert points out $62.5 million bust in ‘roster bubble’ Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup expected when team signs five-year contract

There were some moments where he looked like a player with a $62.
5 million contract in 2022.
For example, he had 11 catches for 152 yards in Weeks 3 and 4, and had two catches for 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 9.
But those are few and far between, and most of the Cowboys rumors surrounding Gallup revolve around potentially removing him from the roster.
It’s not easy.
The way his contract works, the Cowboys won’t be able to save much money unless they designate him to be released after June 1st.
That means there will be no cap savings until the summer.
Still, Gallup is listed among the players in the 2024 “roster bubble” on Spotrac, a website that covers the details of sports contracts.
The Cowboys’ only hope is to restructure his contract in 2023.
Cap and contract expert Mike Ginnitti writes: “Gallup signed a low-end WR2 contract in March 2022, but he never returned to full fitness on the field.
However, the dead cap structure of this deal allows for an early trade/release.
That only frees up $800,000.
Will Dallas hold onto this contract until June 1st to earn $9.
5 million in the summer, or is it just another cap hit that Gallup is targeting in 2024?
Isn’t there?

Gallup’s best year was 2019, his second year in the NFL after being drafted by the Cowboys in the third round out of Colorado State in 2018.
He had 66 catches for 1,107 yards and six touchdowns that year, and Dallas has carried that image given to him by Gallup ever since.
He tore his cruciate ligament toward the end of the 2021 season, but still earned a big contract a few months later.
But since then, things have been disappointing.
Gallup had 39 catches for 424 yards in 14 games last season and has 34 catches for 418 yards in 15 games this season.
Last month, wide receivers coach Robert Prince wondered if the Cowboys were asking too much of Gallup.
The conclusion was that Gallup could no longer handle the WR2 job.
“As you know, unfortunately sometimes things don’t work out,” Prince said, according to SI.com.
“But we brought MG to the island, and he’s going to report it in the press, and we’re asking for it.
” 2024 Cowboys rumors focus on Dak Prescott Of course.
, rumors of the 2024 Cowboys will be overshadowed by contract negotiations with quarterback Dak Prescott.
But the team still has other gaps to fill and questions to answer, including on the offensive line and, of course, at wide receiver.
Experienced Brandin Cooks is helpful but not the No.
2 option, and second-year player Jalen Tolbert is getting more opportunities, but there are also questions about whether he can fill that role.
When it comes to Gallup, it looks more and more like the Cowboys need to do something.
Removal will not immediately improve your symptoms, but you may have no other options.
Columnist Mac Engel wrote in the Star-Telegram: It’s hard to watch because Michael Gallup is a good person, but you want to see good people do well.
