Hill: Pickens will be at minicamp

[Risen Star]

 

[big dog cowboy]

He said he would be. So no surprise.

 

[fivetwos]

Yep, right move. He needs to prove he isn’t an off the field problem, and being the age he is, he can certainly survive one year on a tag and get the bag…if he also behaves.

If they try to tag him again, and aren’t offering him a fair deal, then I’ll side with him.

For now this works for both sides, and even if he is only here for this season, the two we got out of him was well worth the cost.

I’m figuring they will draft a WR in the first that’s ready to be a 2 immediately, and the Pickens money can be allocated elsewhere. If this is/was the overall plan, I fully agree and it was a good one. That within itself is rare.

He said he would be. So no surprise.

I could be mistaken but I don’t think he’s ever said he’d be there

 

[Rayman70]

Price goes up each day he shows up to camp and keeps his mouth shut. Get to work young man. Good things will happen.

He indicated he would, even though he may have not said those exacts words.
He said right before the draft, he planned to sign his tag contract. Which sent some fans into a tailspin.
And he did sign it, sending them into a tailspin again.
His agent did not allow him to answer that question at his youth camp, and they went into a tailspin again.

Now we will wait to see the responses today.

Totally agree, but I think next years 2 is already on the roster- Ryan Flournoy

He has never opened his mouth about anything while here. But yes, get to work, and good things will happen. I think he knows this.

Yes, he signed the tag which led everybody to assume he would show up. Contractually it makes no sense for him to sign it and not show up. So the assumptions are probably going to be proven true. But he never actually said he would show up and when asked about it directly , he didn’t answer which led to some questioning whether he would show up.

I can see that. He seems pretty solid, if not spectacular. Him plus a first rounder allows them to let Pickens walk.

I’m not against signing him long term, but I don’t think that’s the plan. If so, I finally don’t disagree with an approach, so I certainly can’t rip them if they go that route and it doesn’t work.

 

[Stash]

They try oh so hard to create drama and clicks about this.

It’s just so obvious.

 

[Hawkeye19]

He only hurts himself by being a diva about this situation.

Just be a good soldier and ball out and the contract will come in Dallas or elsewhere.

Getting paid 27 mil in one season is hardly insulting.

I know. Yip

 

[Aven8]

Kid stands to make over $50 million guaranteed over the next two seasons just on tags alone. Smart move is to play and ball and get the bigger bag.

I read here that his two second pause and brief stammer before answering the question was an indication that he’s a locker room cancer completely consumed by greed.

 

[AstroPilota]

He said he would be. So no surprise.

Let's hope his word is better than Micah Parsons word. Sharing the same agent is the worry.

 

[Risen Star]

I could be mistaken but I don’t think he’s ever said he’d be there

He didn't.

 

[thunderpimp91]

The issue isn’t about him attending. The concern should be about him participating. Micah attended all required activities.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Yay championship

How is he being a Diva?
