Lamb & Pickens vs. Brown & Smith: Who's the NFL's Best Receiver Duo in 2025?

Oh, not sure that's close. People have conveniently forgotten Hurts' horrific INT in the red zone in the super bowl. D won that game, Hurts was OK.

He was good enough to quarterback a team to a Super Bowl so he could throw a “horrific” interception in the game. It’s the off season, and for many Cowboys fans apparently sour grapes season.

If Pickens plays well, how much compensation do you think he’ll think he’s worth? Will he accept a Higgins type deal?

This depends on what you consider a good year.

If Pickens has a thousand yard season then he is going to want top 5 money.

Which means more than Brown. That’s a lot. And if he doesn’t get a thousand yards do you believe he’ll think it’s his lack of ability as an NFL wide receiver or the team didn’t utilize his full potential?

If he gets one more yard receiving than Lamb he’ll want a “Lamb deal”. Good season or bad season it will be Pickens only season with the Cowboys.

That is my belief as well. Even if Pickens were to miss significant time due to injury, he will still command a large contract simply based on potential.

If the Cowboys were to go to the SB it wouldn't cause Pickens to want to stay, it would just increase his demands

I don't see him getting the top contract but large enough to stop the Cowboys from consideration.
