Stephen feels good about the offseason: It really came together good for us

[Risen Star]

Meanwhile, is Pickens constantly brought up in the 'best receivers in the NFL' conversations?

I did a quick Google search of top 10 NFL receivers for 2025 and didn't see his name mentioned once. So I have to ask, what was so great about acquiring Pickens? When the trade was announced I honestly said "who is this". Who does he play for? The top receivers in the NFL are household name - Lamb, Chase, etc. But Pickens? Once I saw he played for Pittsburgh I said 'oh yeah, now I remember'.

Why is everyone (mainly the homers and Jerry apologists) touting this as the best offseason Jerry and Stephen have had simply for bringing in a receiver who isn't recognized as a top receiver in NFL circles? He's so unremarkable he's #42 on this list. 42...... https://www.thescore.com/nflfan/news/3181658

If you had to ask who is George Pickens then I'd sit out on evaluating his talent.

They obviously have and had a plan. Lame duck, blow it up.

If I was blowing it up I wouldn’t have played rush, and I would have traded a guy or two that are about to come due for an extension

 

[Rockport]

Yeah, it was his critical 3rd year and he was 32nd in yards and 82nd in TDs

His yards per catch was pretty high. I guess thats why all the love. Hes 6"3.

If we had him for 3 years Id be more on board, but hes basically a rental for a team bound for nowhere.

Who said he’s a 1 year rental? Jerry? Stephen? He may or may not be. You don’t know so quit acting like you do.

That isn't my job.

I think it would have made more sense to play Lance. I suspect the results would have been the same. They may have ended up with keeping Lance. I'm glad they got Milton instead.

So it's the cap you don't understand if you don't care at all about what Dak's salary is. Got it.

Jerry "blah blah blah only so many pieces of the pie blah blah blah"

Actually, I can see that they have cap space and can get whatever player they want.

 

[rambo2]

They shot their wad with the Pickens deal. They get that 7 year itch like they did last time they aquired Amari Cooper

I suspect that another dtackle and possibly a corner is coming.

 

[phildadon86]

Pretty stupid to think this offseason wasn't good.

On paper?

I want these guys to show me on the field. They could put the 90s players out there. The culture this FO has created would ruin them too.

That’s what you don’t seem to get.

If they brought in a coach that wasn’t just another yes man, I would be excited.

Bringing in a guy just happy to have a HC position who will placate his boss isn’t what I see as change.

As long as they are under 5 million. Stephen won’t pay over that.

However, they did get the best available player in the entire league this year. Nothing you can say can take that away.

Nepo Boy has none of the charm of Daddy and really thinks he is the smartest guy in the room.

That’s what happens when your birth certificate qualifies you as an NFL executive.

 

[darthseinfeld]

So is he speaking as though they're done and there'll be no second trade they were talking about?

2nd trade was Breece Hall and they decided to move on from that

lol who?

Dante Fowler?

Please don’t say Pickens.

You really do just eat up everything the front office sells you don’t you.?

Let me ask you something. What’s your record prediction?

Name a player better than Pickens.

 

[lukemartin79]

Stephen feels good, oh what a relief.

Yep, we can go ahead and book those Super Bowl reservations now, LOL. If he knew somethings about building a football team that might mean something.

 

[phildadon86]

Name a player better than Pickens.

Milton Williams.
Dre Greenlaw
Davonte Adams

Just off the top of my head.

Breece hall if he was actually available.

You actually think Pickens is the best player in the NFL that was available this off season?

Wow. They got you hook line and sinker.

 

[bewp7]

well yea jerry and stephen love bust player like lance and mingo and cowboys got a bunch more this off season so u know stepehen is super happy

pickens is a good player tho when he not fighting db and what ever other stupid stuff thank god cowboys got another dumb undiscipline player

i bet cowbiys still got one more trade tho…..2026 4th for another bust

 

[fivetwos]

They brought in several guys they had recent high draft grades on.

I don’t think they at all realize that it’s possible that draft picks bust. Most of them do in fact.

How many times are you going to hear…”we had a high grade on him…etc?”

Are they really that ignorant?
