Cowboys should consider trading Pickens

snadler said:
I know people will read this and think I’m crazy, and this is not that Pickens isn’t playing incredibly well. It’s really that he’s playing too well and outpricing himself. With cowboys already paying CD his money, are you really going to pay 2 receivers 70 million dollars. Boys should sell high since they are not going anywhere anyway, they might be able to get a 2nd round pick from a contender.

This team needs draft picks and we do not need to sink a huge contract into another WR.
 
Trade for what we haven't drafted good. More like sign better players in free agency or trade
For better players

Dumbest post of the day. Get rid of your best wr for a second round nobody picked by the worst GM in the league.
 
Didn't read all the posts, but has anyone mentioned some here were saying the same thing about Parsons before Jerry's spat with #11?

Anyone who thought this team was going to be competitive was wearing rose colored glasses. We are in full rebuild mode no matter what spills out of the mouths of Jerral and Stephen.

Only 2/3rds of the team is playing well.
The defense is so bad it's making the whole team look horrible.

Funny, someone calling this the dumbest post of the day, clearly showing how out of touch with reality you are. If you think logically for a minute, the cowboys are going nowhere this season, you really think the way to try to become a better all around team is to have 2 receivers making close to 80 million per year when you have a historically bad defense. Also, if you read what I said, this has nothing to do with how good Pickens has been, in fact he’s been too good he’s out priced himself in Dallas.

Pickens will be franchised next year for 25M.
 
In a vacuum the Pickens deal is fine. The problem is they gave away their only tool they use to build a team for a 1 year rental in a year they have zero chance to win a playoff game. Now if they trade or extend him then it changes things cause Pickens is a tremendous asset.

Yep, you're crazy. If we are going to go the Wasting Dak route, trade away Pickens.
 
I'm curious what the compensation would even be I've never seen a player trade for a higher pick than the previous trade. We would be lucky to just get a third rounder.

You aren’t crazy but i don’t think you’re getting a 2nd rounder for him. We just got him for a 3rd. And it’s not like people didn’t know he could play. Everyone knew. It’s between the ears.

That’s the thing. I don’t think the compensation is nearly what people think. He’s a headache and not everyone wants to do will it. Just because he’s producing doesn’t change that. Everyone knew he could play.
