3 reasons re-signing Michael Gallup was a good move by the Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys aren’t often guilty of the smartest moves out there. However, when it comes to what they were able to get done with Michael Gallup this year, it was nearly brilliant.

Some out there are thinking this right now… “How was it brilliant to pay a guy that is injured now and might be a bit injury prone?”

That’s a fair thought. Honestly, it is. However, when he’s healthy, Gallup is one of the most dynamic downfield threats that the game has to offer.

He’s one of the most tenacious battlers for the ball when it’s in the air. He’s also proven just how tough he is, catching balls for touchdowns while simultaneously coming up so hobbled that he would have to miss major time. That’s exactly what happened when he tore his ACL last season against the Cardinals.

The talent is there. It’s hard to deny.

This isn’t about his talent though—well, not just about his talent. There are several more reasons why his deal was a smart one for Dallas. Let’s take a look at them.
