The Washington Commanders signed wide receiver Michael Gallup to a contract on Thursday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed for Gallup, who returns to the NFL after he retired last offseason.

Gallup, 29, was released from the Las Vegas Raiders’ reserve/retired list earlier this month. He signed a one-year contract with the Raiders in April 2024 but opted to retire on the eve of the team’s first practice at training camp in July.

With Washington, Gallup will see a familiar face in head coach Dan Quinn, who was the defensive coordinator in Dallas in 2023.

Gallup will join Commanders wide receivers Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey.

Gallup had 266 catches for 3,744 yards and 21 touchdowns in 86 career games (67 starts) with the Cowboys. His best season was in 2019, when he had 66 receptions for 1,107 yards and six scores.

The third-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Colorado State sustained a torn left ACL on Jan. 2, 2022, while making a touchdown catch against the Arizona Cardinals. In his final two seasons with the Cowboys, he had his lowest yardage totals of his career: 424 in 2022 and 418 in 2023.
