Overview

  • Michael Gallup, who retired in 2024 after an injury-plagued career, has signed with the Washington Commanders as part of his NFL comeback.
  • The Commanders have added Gallup to a strong wide receiver group that includes Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, and K.J. Osborn.
  • Gallup's career peaked in 2019 with the Dallas Cowboys, where he recorded 1,107 receiving yards, but a 2021 ACL tear led to declining performance.
  • This signing is part of Washington's aggressive offseason strategy, which also includes acquiring Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil, to strengthen their NFC East contention.
  • Gallup's move is seen as a symbolic shift in the competitive balance between the Commanders and his former team, the Cowboys, who are struggling to keep pace in the division.
