After spending the first six years of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, Michael Gallup will have a change of scenery in 2024.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday that the Las Vegas Raiders have reached an agreement with Gallup on a one-year, $3 million deal that will bring the wide receiver to the AFC West.

Gallup, 28, was the 81st overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft following two seasons at Colorado State.

The 6’1 wideout has brought in 21 touchdowns, 266 receptions (3.1 per game), and 3,744 reception yards (43.5 per game) during his NFL career.

More on Raiders WR Michael Gallup

During the 2023 season, Gallup caught two touchdown passes and watched his receptions drop to 34 (one above his career-low as a rookie) as the Cowboys’ top target, CeeDee Lamb (135 receptions), took on the bulk of Dallas’ receiving duties.

Now that Gallup is heading to Las Vegas, he will join a wide receiver room that includes Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Tre Tucker with Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew expected to battle it out for the QB1 spot.
