Cowboys Trade Pitch Adds Former First-Round WR, Drops $57.5 Million Bust
Making cap room is the biggest obstacle the Dallas Cowboys will face in the 2024 offseason out of any of them. Stars Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons are among the players the Cowboys need to negotiate deals for; we can debate who is more crucial in the long run.
All of that, though, is meaningless if a short-term reduction in the cap is not possible. And the most effective way to do that is with Cowboys Michael Gallup.
To aid in that, there are a few clear-cut options for a departure. However, wide receiver Gallup stands out as the most notable, having received the most attention this season despite never living up to the five-year, $57.5 million contract he signed in 2021. The Cowboys would still be responsible for a portion of Gallup’s contract even if they were to cut him after June 1 and save $9.5 million.
They have a cleaner break with a trade, and Bleacher Report is proposing one that would enable the Cowboys to at least take a shot on a young player to take Gallup’s place, albeit at a substantial draft asset cost.
The Cowboys would trade Treylon Burks, a 2022 first-round pick who has had difficulty settling in Tennessee, to the Titans in exchange for Gallup and a third-round pick in the deal that B/R is putting up.
