Gallup, now 29 years old, has never publicly discussed his retirement. He torn the ACL in his left knee during the week 17 of the 2021-22 season and returned to play the next two years with Dallas. However, the production of Gallup during these two seasons has slipped significantly, with an average of 36 receptions and 421 yards.
The Cowboys released it after the 2023 campaign, two years after a contract of $ 57.5 million over five years. He signed a free agent agreement with the raiders and participated in OTA and Minicamp. But after Gallup informed the team before leaving the camp he intended to retire, Las Vegas placed him on the list of reserves / retirees.
If it is entirely healthy and capable of corresponding its best previous production, Gallup could be classified favorably among the five best free agents available in a thin and aging group in the receiver.
