CelebnSports247.com reports that once Dak Prescott got word after the news broke he found Michael Gallup in the team’s training room.
The 28-year-old quarterback gave his receiver, who’s rehabilitating after surgery on a torn ACL, a hug.
Gallup said Thursday by phone:
The first words he told me were, ‘Get that thing (knee) right so we can get to work. I ain’t going to lie to you: Dak knew I was going to be here for the long haul since I got here. That man’s had faith in me since Day 1.
He wanted me to be here and I’m so glad he did.
When Michael Gallup got Cowboys extension done, Dak Prescott walked into training room, hugged him. Said time to get to work.
“I ain’t going to lie to you: Dak knew I was going to be here for long haul,” MG said. “That man’s had faith in me since Day 1. He wanted me to be here.”

Monday, the Cowboys signed Gallup to a five-year extension worth $62.5 million with $27 million guaranteed including a $10 million signing bonus, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.
The deal represented a financial windfall for Gallup even before he proved his surgically repaired knee could hold up. The deal also allowed Gallup to stay with the club that selected him in the third round of the 2018 NFL draft.
Gallup said:
I wanted to be here regardless…Can’t even put into words what it means to me, everything I’ve gone through to get to this point. All I can really say is I’m just blessed. I had a big smile on my face. And that’s normal ‘MG,’ but it was bigger.
They put all of their faith in me, so I need to put all of my work into this team.
