Bills Named Top Fit for $57.5 Million WR After Release by Cowboys.
After trading away their top wide receiver and watching their No. 2 leave in free agency, the Buffalo Bills have some work to rebuild their receiving corps.
Bills general manager Brandon Beane suggested that the team could be active in free agency after the completion of this month’s NFL Draft, and one analyst believes a former Dallas Cowboys receiver could be a logical target.
Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder compiled a list of one free agent for all 32 NFL teams to target, suggesting the Bills look at veteran Michael Gallup after his March release from the Cowboys.Michael Gallup Could Compete for Starting Job
Holder stressed that Gallup would not be coming to Buffalo to take over for Stefon Diggs, who served as the team’s No. 1 receiver for the last four seasons. The Bills traded Diggs to the Houston Texans in a surprise move, leaving a gaping hole in their offense. Just weeks before the Diggs trade,
the Bills watched No. 2 receiver Gabe Davis sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency.
Signing Gallup could help give the Bills a reliable target, Holder wrote.
“After the Stefon Diggs trade, the Bills could use some help at wide receiver. While Gallup won’t replace what Diggs brought to the offense, Buffalo needs to equip Josh Allen with as many weapons as possible to help replicate the four-time Pro Bowler’s production,” Holder wrote.
Holder added that Gallup would have the chance to compete for a starting spot with the Bills. The 28-year-old receiver joined the Cowboys as a third-round pick in 2018 and had a breakout season in 2019, making 66 catches for 1,107 yards and six touchdowns.
