When we talk about the Cowboys offense, without a doubt one of the references is Michael Gallup. The receiver, who is entering his fourth year with the franchise, spoke to the media on various topics. Among them, the current state of the team and his future as a player in the organization. Of course, he also mentioned Prescott and what he is accomplishing in organized activities.
The receiver was speaking on Monday for “Good Morning Football,” where several reporters asked him questions regarding his current status, what he has been doing, and even about Julio Jones’ trade move to the Titans. However, when it comes to the Cowboys, he left a lot of answers that will have fans excited.

Reporter Jane Slater asked him a specific question about how good Dallas’ offense could be having him, Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb. Of course, after the return of Dak Prescott and all that that means. “Well, we also have Noah Brown and Cedrick Wilson coming off the bench and helping us too. I think the sky is the limit for us, “said Gallup. “We said that last year, but obviously we had some team injuries and related things. We’re just getting started, it’s just organized activities, but I think we can explode. We can do what we need to do on the field and achieve it. I don’t see anyone who can stop us. “
“Honestly, Dak looks like his old man, ready to go out there and be a leader,” Michael commented regarding Prescott after the extension and his recovery. “Dak has that little spark, every time you see him, you want to make sure you’re doing everything right for him. He’s a great guy on and off the field, coming out of his injury and after his contract. He’s the same guy, nothing has changed except that he wants to play now. All my support for him, since everything he has done, he has earned. He is just an incredible player. “

On an interesting note, Gallup himself stated that the receiving corps is competitive. “If Amari comes out and makes a play in practice, CeeDee tells me behind me that he can do better,” said the catcher. “Even I say throw something at me, I’m going to make a great play too. We are competitive, even on the bands during games. If someone has a big turnout before half time, we let them know that in the rest of the game we will catch up too. Basically what anyone can do, I can do it too and better. It’s actually a really fun group. “
Last but not least, Gallup spoke about his future at the organization. And the fact that he is entering his fourth year of a rookie contract, and to stay in the organization, the Cowboys will have to offer him an extension for the year 2022. Looking at everything that happens in question, Gallup is the third of the trio of starting receivers. . And between Amari Cooper’s contract that will just enter its third year in 2022, plus the imminent extension to Lamb in the not-too-distant future, there is a possibility that the offices may not have the luxury of keeping Michael.
“Obviously you’re going to think about it, but you can’t do anything about it except go out on the field and do what you’re supposed to do,” Gallup said. “You won’t have that extension if you don’t do what you have to do on the field first. I don’t think you can talk much about what the future is, since you have to do your job right now. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m going out to help this organization win matches, while having fun in the process. Of course I would love to stay here, I love being in Dallas, the community, the city, the fans. So that’s in the air, but I want to be here, we’ll see ”.

During 2020, Michael Gallup finished with 59 receptions for 843 yards and five touchdowns. Of which one of them was with Dak against the Seattle Seahawks for 43 yards. Prescott knows full well that Gallup is his deep passing partner, and he is a fundamental element of the Cowboys offense.

We’ll see what happens to the future of the receiver. But what is clear is that Gallup will continue to collaborate with his work in the organization, as long as the team gives him the opportunity. If the numbers are given and that his production is top-notch, the franchise could keep him by 2022.
