The Cowboys completed a five-year, $62.5 million contract extension Sunday with wide receiver Michael Gallup, a source said, further clearing the way for wide receiver Amari Cooper’s trade to the Cleveland Browns to be processed Wednesday.
The deal features $27 million in guarantees, including a $10 million signing bonus.
Free agency effectively starts on Monday at 11 a.m. That is when NFL teams can enter formal negotiations and reach agreements in principle with other clubs’ unrestricted free agents. The Cowboys do not expect to be big external spenders.
