The Dallas Cowboys Give Michael Gallup Permission to Seek Trade: Is It Worth It?

TLDRThe Dallas Cowboys have given wide receiver Michael Gallup permission to seek a trade, but the potential salary cap savings are minimal. Trading Gallup would save the Cowboys virtually nothing, compared to releasing him after June 1st when they would get millions of dollars in salary cap relief. Finding a team willing to trade for Gallup and take on his $13 million salary is unlikely. It is more likely that Gallup will be released and become a free agent. The official opening of the NFL's legal tampering period is approaching, and the Cowboys are under the cap.
