Michael Gallup returns to NFL with Washington Commanders

Wide receiver Michael Gallup has signed with the Commanders after a brief retirement from the NFL. He spoke to the media about his decision to return to football, stating that he was not in the right "head space" last year. Gallup had previously signed with the Raiders and participated in offseason training before stepping away from the game. He explained that his retirement was influenced by how he felt after leaving the Cowboys. The quick transition to a new team was difficult for him to handle. During his time away, Gallup realized he missed playing football while watching games. He expressed that he still has a strong passion for the game. The Commanders hope that Gallup's experience and motivation will benefit their offense in the upcoming 2025 season.
