"Cowboys Cut Vander Esch and Gallup"

The Dallas Cowboys have released linebacker Leighton Vander Esch with a failed physical designation and wide receiver Michael Gallup as a post-June 1 cut, opening up significant cap space. Vander Esch's career was plagued by injuries, including a neck issue that ultimately led to his release, while Gallup struggled to regain form after tearing his ACL in 2021. The team hopes to fill the void with young talent and potentially add to their receiver group through the draft.
