Raiders signing Michael Gallup in NFL free agency: Best reactions image

The Las Vegas Raiders made a much-needed addition to their wide receivers room on Monday, with the team reportedly signing former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Las Vegas is inking Gallup to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal notes the deal is pending a physical.

A former third-round pick of the Cowboys, Gallup once played a key role in the team's offense, with the Colorado State product tallying nearly 2,000 receiving yards combined in 2019 and 2020, including a 2019 campaign that saw him finish with a career-best 1,107 yards.

However, Gallup suffered a calf injury that forced him to miss the first half the 2021 campaign before his season later ended early with a torn ACL. Since then, he hasn't tallied more than 424 yards the past two years.

Regardless of his struggles to get going in recent years, Gallup is a solid depth addition for the Raiders and will compete for the WR3 role with second-year wide receiver Tre Tucker.

Here are some of the best reactions to the move.
