Stephen: We will not have contract talks with Pickens

[reddyuta]

GPs agent is the reason,that guy will not work with the Cowboys.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Maybe something into play with KC to move to 9 for our 12 and GP? This all would have to happen really quickly if that's even in play? Are they smart enough to pick up the phone to Jake from State Farm to get Patty's stamp of approval?

 

[Kwyn]

This all sounds fishy. First saying nobody has called, then saying they won’t have contract talks.

I can’t imagine the rational for either statement without an ulterior motive.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

“Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice”

“There is very little deliberate wickedness in the world. The stupidity of our selfishness gives much the same results indeed, but in the ethical laboratory it shows a different nature“


Unfortunately Jerry and Stephen are all of these

Stupid
Incompetent
Wicked
Malicious

So how would he go about being traded??

If someone wants to trade for him, they'd have to work out a long-term contract first.

Teams don't want to commit long term to this guy for obvious reasons.

So he's stuck. Play on the franchise tag, or rot.

 

[Kwyn]

Like I have been saying, this is going to get real ugly. I expect a Walmart video soon……

Dez caught it.

And Dez got played by wicked Jerry

Well, Boy George would certainly not be happy with the Culture Club about to take place in Dallas. I don't see any solution to this except for GP to sign the tag, and demands he gets traded now? GP will undoubtedly be either a malcontent all year or just not care to play. if he remains on the roster. Which now begs the question, why on earth did the idiots trade for him in the first place?

i agree. and im not saying he would be right in doing this. But i just dont think pickens is the guy to have around when he thinks he isnt being treated fairly.
And i love George P.

 

[Reid1boys]

FO showing more and more they are idiots. And why they can’t build a winning roster.

really? Half the people in here are saying we shouldnt sign pickens and we should trade him. I prefer a long term deal, but I like the fact there is no ambiguity in that statement.

It is now that simple. You sign the tag, or you sit out. How is that drama?

But we have to agree to the compensation, you're not going to negotiate just take whatever they offer uhh

 

[erod]

All those who wanted to defend Jerry …

You were told that they never had the slightest intention of even attempting to negotiate. They had him by the balls and Jerry loves to squeeze.

Now comes the whispers to their media lackeys when GP rightfully stays away from OTAs

They're playing this brilliantly.

A team would have to be stupid to pay this headcase long term.

 

[John813]

Cool. Guessing GP will skip all of the offseason. Then reporting/signing the tag to get his paychecks.
He'll probably have a lower back pain at times too, maybe migraines.

If the plan isn't to keep him long term, dangle him for picks and be done with it.

 

[Spottswoode]

So how would he go about being traded??

It’s possible that Dallas has found someone willing to trade but GP won’t sign the tag. Could be that negotiations with another team are stuck and Dallas is trying to put their finger on the scale by threatening playing on the tag.

 

[baltcowboy]

Something is up. The smoke from the Tyson workout and Stephen making that announcement. I can’t see Pickens playing on the tag with that statement. The Cowboys basically let everyone know they are open for business with a Pickens trade.

 

[Kwyn]

Good.

Never commit to uncommitted players.

What a terrible take. GP
Has fully embraced the trade and his role. It’s Jerry and Stephen who are incapable of working in good faith.

Charlatans and snake oil salesmen

That's what I mean like how much are they in control of things

 

[Redsfan_83]

There is no viable reason to have him on our roster in '26 now, and I absolutely love the guy and can put up with the theatrics that come with him. Why would Baldy Jr bring this up 24 hours before the draft if for no other reason than to market the player? What he has done is this, but also makes the team vulnerable to being forced to unload him for the first/best offer

You've clearly never managed people.

 

[hornitosmonster]

This front office sucks

Why on earth would GP find a team willing to give him a massive extensions finally achieving financial freedom for his entire family for generations to come and then at no.

Makes no sense at all’s.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Why announce this to the media?

Because Pickens is almost guaranteed to sit out until games start. The media frenzy during camp will be nothing but drama.
