The Las Vegas Raiders are gearing up for an electrifying season as they prepare to welcome former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, Michael Gallup, into their ranks. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler, Gallup is poised to sign a lucrative one-year deal worth $3 million with the Raiders.
Gallup, a seasoned veteran with six NFL seasons under his belt, brings a wealth of experience and talent to the Raiders’ already formidable wideout room. Drafted by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Gallup has proven himself as a reliable playmaker on the field.
Despite facing challenges in the previous season, including a career-low 57 targets, Gallup’s versatility and determination shone through as he recorded 418 yards and two touchdowns on 34 receptions across all 17 games, demonstrating his resilience and commitment to the game.
With a breakout rookie season that saw him amass 507 yards and two touchdowns, followed by stellar performances in subsequent years, including a career-best 1,107 receiving yards and six touchdowns, Gallup’s potential is undeniable.
However, recent seasons have presented obstacles for Gallup, with injuries hindering his ability to consistently perform at his peak. Despite setbacks, his signing with the Raiders signals a fresh start and an opportunity to reignite his career in a new environment.
Joining a talented roster that includes six-time Pro Bowler Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Tre Tucker, Gallup adds depth and competition to the Raiders’ receiving corps. As the team heads into training camp, the battle for the coveted WR3 spot intensifies, with Gallup poised to make a strong case for his role in the lineup.
With the addition of Gallup, along with promising undrafted free agents Lideatrick Griffin and Ramel Keyton, the Raiders are primed for an exciting season ahead, fueled by competition, talent, and the relentless pursuit of success.
