Cowboys should consider trading Pickens

[Loso86]

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.

Or no, we sign him an start looking ro make the defense good next year.

Yeah I know they will franchise tag him. But, if he wants out, he knows how to push buttons lol.

He has no choice I think you're missing the point he can't defer the franchise tag no one's asking him to stay you get that right you tell him why you have your meetings that you really want to leave here that's fine but we have to tag you we need to get more for you he shouldn't have to worry about it right if he thinks a bunch of teams want him they will be bidding for his services the same way except the Cowboys will get more for him than a comp pick..

He can't deny the franchise tag I don't care how **** he gets we put up with that stuff from March up until the time we traded Parsons the Cowboys are not afraid to play hardball with their players but that's not what's going on here you tag him but you tell him he can leave if he wants that he needs to find the best trade value in order for them to agree to trade him..

Mute tender either a first or second round franchise tag on somebody There are rules that team who's now betting on his services as long as they step up and they offer him a contract the cowboys have a limited time to match or they lose the player.. And the Cowboys will then see his value , pickens will see his value and then they can neither negotiate or let him walk one way or the other we will get far more than a comp pick for this guy is my point he does not have to control when it comes to that but we're not going to try to make him stay we're just going to make sure we maximize the value we get for him.....


Yeah he could try to be a headache and I don't really care I think the teams already went through this with Parsons so now they're ready they know who David is they know the agent But we need to get make sure we get maximum value for the trade that's it that's all I'm saying and the only way you do that is franchise tag him but letting him know he's free to go we just need to make sure we get the most value....

Or no, we sign him an start looking ro make the defense good next year.

Cowboys are not going to have as much choice as you think in the matter all they can do is franchise tag him let him seek trades and then let him decide whether he wants to stay here and be the number two that's the problem here he's not going to be satisfied with being paid like a number two receiver I don't think that's his goal listen to his language at the end of a lot of these press conferences he keeps talking about raising his value by using Dallas as a great platform to do that It is you know many primetime games the Cowboys get you know many ratings grabs he is with an agent who knows how to do this and I just don't think he's settling for number two money.

There's no friggin way in this world you could say Jerry should pay him anything he wants he cannot make starter money you can no team can afford to play two receivers starting money I'd rather get the the picks and get a top five receiver out of the draft and realize we keep talking about how Flournoy is making his step that he could be that guy we're developing one right now before our eyes.....

Oh yes you you want to try to sign him but I doubt that's what he wants and him and his agent will make sure they leave for more money but you franchise tag him so that way other teams are forced to give you better value that's it I don't think we're going to have a choice I think George Pickens is going to be gone next year and it won't be because of Jerry being cheap is because you can't afford to pay A player that much money when you already have CD lamb on the team you have Turpin on the team they're already paid...

Jerry likes the splash players, especially on offense. I'm sure he'll call the agent this time to lock up another high paid WR.

 

[StarLord]

It would have to be for a 1st. He's worth a 3 if he walks, so anything less than 1 doesn't make any sense.

This reminds me of Micah last year/early part of the off-season. Jerry needs to decide now, are you resigning him or letting him go?

If we're resigning him, ok whatever. I don't think I would with Dak, CD, Ferg's contracts already, coupled with how many resources the defense clearly needs to be functional.

If we decide now we aren't or can't resign him, then you have to try and shop him for a 1st. He's not taking us to the playoffs this year. This team doesn't have it. So let's get something for him before he becomes a late 3rd.

Personally I think Jerry keeps him ",to win now" despite trading Micah for future picks.. AND blows one of our picks on some defensive rental that will change nothing. Then he goes to an offense who can afford a no1 receiver.

 

[StarLord]

wth is this team going to do with a 2nd round pick?

Look I need another Schoonmaker ok.

 

[StarLord]

Our defense is so bad, I would also consider what we can get for Aubrey. We can't afford the highest paid kicker.

I am in sell mode, but I disagree here. I would lock Aubrey up for a long time. He currently is the best to ever do it.

I guess like all players, it would depend on what you can get, but I just don't see getting enough of a return in a kicker to justify it.

He does but not to that extent I don't know where you've been but he traded Amari Cooper for a 5th round pick to get out from underneath 22 million that he thought was too much for a backup because that's what Amari was becoming because CD Lamb was breaking onto the scene on a rookie contract was the best receiver on our team and he was right...

It would have to be for the right money in the right situation he does not throw money around just because he may like shiny toys he's not always overspending for them he already sees us having a number one wide receiver it's not imperative to have such a great number two..

How's that working out for Cincinnati? The fact is some of these guys are also in the rearview mirror coming up like Flournoy and you have all these draft compensation that you can get for Pickens plus what we already have and you can pick a really good wide receiver in this coming draft they were going to do it in last draft that was their number one pick on their draft board was TET..

And that didn't happen they went out and got George Pickens so they see the value there and getting a good number two but they're not gonna overpay one I know that for sure and they shouldn't that would be a really dumb move..

You all keep missing the point I don't think George Pickens wants to be a number two he's gonna leave for the money and for the respect having the title of AWR one that is a fact so we need to get everything we can for him...

Didn't read what that guy posted but I'm assuming he said something really ridiculous like we should trade Aubrey? I think Jerry sees his value it's hard to find a guy not only that can kick long few goals that don't miss from short but the way he's adapted he's one of the best at the landing zone stuff in this new kickoff rules that you have to put the ball in more specific spots and he's really good at that at least for my I can tell he's one of the best all around kickers because you have to take that into account now...

I don't think he's gonna let him go...

 

[lukemartin79]

A smart FO would consider it (of course we don't have a smart FO. His trade value will never be higher and when Cee Dee gets back his targets will go way down. (something I bet he isn't going to like at all)

A smart one would - yes. But we have the Owner playing GM.
Theres no way that they can have 2 $30+ a year WRs next year. Not with a $60 mill a year QB. So if he is just going to leave after this year anyway - they should at least explore it.
My understanding is that they will get a pick when he signs a big FA deal with whomever next offseason. So he most likely is just be a toy for this year only. I have enjoyed him. So big with CD down.

I said NOTHING about pickens or a super bowl. Had NOTHING to do with anything I said, "genius".

Yes...let's get that draft captiol for sure!

We need another TE in the 2nd.

Yes i said that...with dripping sarcasm...the OPPOSITE of when you said "By your logic we are headed to the Superbowl this year with Pickens."

I never said or hinted at any such thing.

My point? we can waste draft picks pretty easily. We've had D line duds, TE duds....just for starters.

Yes...get the draft capitol...fine. But some caution should be taken as to how Cowboys use/abuse them.

You are not crazy. We should also consider trading Aubrey.

It is hard to kick FG's and expect to win games when giving up 32 points a game.

I brought the receipts so go burn one.

Sorry....I'm too old to know what that means.

Now...get off my lawn!

Sure I would listen to offers , if a team is willing to send us a number 2 pull the trigger ..i keep CD, Tyler Smith, booker, beebe, Fergie, shown, bland, javonte, Aubrey , guyton and course dak due to contract and no trade clause

It really does not matter if we like someone or not. If they are demanding to be over paid, you need to trade them away.

 

[Wildcat711]

No thanx.. we need to keep Aubrey.

I don't care what he gets paid.. sign him up for 10 years.

 

[Relayer]

Yep, trading Pickens is tantamount to wasting Dak's extension. If two $30m WR's is what it takes then pay them.
We've got the resources to expedite a Defensive rebuild.

Fair enough. If you are going to pay him you have to give him weapons. My opinion is the money they paid Dak and the roster spot he's taking is the waste. But we are stuck with him so we should try and make the best of it. I think we should consider keeping him because he's an excellent player and that's what you want on the team

 

[Relayer]

Yep, add in the fact that one of the strengths of this year's draft is the D-Line (which makes me wonder if we keep Clark, or cut him saving a further $20m), it may even be beneficial to trade up possibly using one of the 2027 1st RD. I'm also not adverse to flipping a first in a trade. Just try something different.... maybe even that mythical beast (I think they call it Free Agency)...tick tock Jerry.

That extra 2027 1st will be even more valuable in 2027.
