The Dallas Cowboys made a couple of questionable moves this past weekend with the trade of Amari Cooper and the resigning 26-year-old Michael Gallup to a five-year $62.5 million deal.
Gallup’s contract comes as a surprise because the receiver has never posted a 1,000-yard season and is also coming off a torn ACL late in the year. While a $12.5M average annual salary certainly raised eyebrows around the league, it did make one thing very clear:
The market for receivers on the market is going to be high, and the Eagles will be directly involved.
