Report: Cowboys re-sign two-time Pro Bowl special teamer

The Cowboys have re-signed their two-time Pro Bowl long snapper Jake McQuaide. On Monday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport revealed the news.

“Long snapper news: The #Cowboys have agreed to re-sign two-time pro bowl LS Jake McQuaide to a 1-year contract contract vet min salary benefit, source said,” tweeted Rapoport.

Moreover, McQuaide played his college football at Ohio State. After playing for the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams from 2011-2020, the former Buckeyes special teamer joined the Cowboys. Now, he’s making a move to remain with the franchise.

As you can see, former Rams and current Cowboys special teams coordinator John Fassel has immense trust in Jake McQuaide. The long snapper isn’t leaving Dallas — or Fassel — anytime soon.

Dallas Cowboys come to terms on huge long-term deal for Michael Gallup

The Dallas Cowboys are all in with a long-term commitment to former third-round draft pick Michael Gallup. The parties agreed to a five-year deal worth $62.4 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Despite battling multiple injuries this season, Gallup’s body of work prior to the 2021 season was enough to secure him the big deal he was looking for.

Gallup suffered two major injuries during the 2021 season, most recently tearing his ACL on Jan. 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. In the season opener against the Tampa Buccaneers, Gallup suffered a calf injury that held him out for the majority of the season. He only appeared in nine games this year for the Cowboys.

In the nine games he did play in, Gallup totaled 35 receptions for 445 yards and two touchdowns. In 2019, he posted the first 1,000-yard+ season of his NFL career.

The five-year deal is a significant increase from the former Colorado State star’s rookie deal. He originally signed a four-year, $3.5 million deal. He’ll now make more than $10 million a year, which puts him amongst the top 30 highest paid NFL wide receivers.
