Michael Gallup, the former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders just months ago, has unexpectedly announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 28. The Raiders placed him on the reserve/retired list, just one day before the start of their training camp, raising questions about his sudden decision. Gallup enjoyed a productive career with the Cowboys, recording over 400 receiving yards in every season and achieving a career-high of 1,107 yards in 2019, but injuries hampered his performance in recent years. The Raiders had signed him to a one-year deal in hopes of bolstering their receiving corps, but he will not take the field for the team. Gallup's retirement follows a difficult season where he struggled to maintain his starting role, and it remains unclear what prompted his departure from the game. Despite his youth, it is uncertain if he will consider a return to football in the future.
