Stephen Jones breaks silence on Michael Gallup’s shocking retirement
The former Cowboys wideout suddenly called it a career.
Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup made the shocking decision to call it a career in the NFL at just 28 years of age earlier this week, and now his former club is reacting.
Cowboys CEO Stephen Jones, the son of team owner and general manager Jerry Jones, stated he has the “upmost respect” for Gallup after he spent the first six years of his career in Dallas.
"I've got nothing but the utmost respect for Michael Gallup," said Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones. "He had some really great years here then he had an unfortunate injury that put him on the shelf for a year. He didn't quite hit his stride the second year. We had to make a tough decision from a salary cap standpoint. He went out to the Raiders. I don't know the details behind his retirement. You won't meet a finer man than Michael Gallup. He always went out there to work to make everyone on the field better. I wish him nothing but the best."
Gallup finishes his career with 266 receptions for 3,744 yards and 21 touchdowns. He signed with the Las Vegas Raiders after being released from Dallas, but ultimately never suited up in Sin City.
