TRADED Cowboys trade for George Pickens and 2027 6th for 2026 3rd and 2027 5th

[big dog cowboy]

WR2 was a need. why not throw 7th rounders at it. just like DT position and then make trades to get a good DT....

The Cowboys could have done that. But it wouldn't have been called a marketing move either. Just like getting Pickens wasn't.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I would....my issue

You just don't like the fact the Cowboys disagree with your way of thinking.

I'm sure they'll extend him after he helps them make the playoffs.

Or they will get a pick back. It makes tons of sense.

 

[BlindFaith]

Like some have said, some of you will never be happy. No matter what.

Any move they make is a bad move.

That has to be a crappy existence.

A crappy existence is not seeing your team sniff the Superbowl for nearly 30 years. Especially after watching them win three almost back to back.

Traded a 3rd for a one year rental, LOL

 

[Beast_from_East]

Also hilarious people assume 3rd rounders just always hit and not at a 25% rate.

This is a steal.

Nobody else in the league was offering a 3rd for Pickens, just like nobody else in the league was offering a 4th for Lance.

Just saying

Especially when they could have traded up and got a young TMAC for a 3rd round pick....it would of cost less....and got a future #1 WR.....but oh no...thats not how Jerry does business.

Exactly, we could have moved up with that 3rd and got a legit #1 on a 5 yr deal.

But no, Jerry and his idiot boy have no clue how to build a roster, that’s why every other team in the NFC has been to a title game except us.

Spoiler alert….its not due to bad luck

That's not how it works. Theres always a chance that player isn't ready or will not make a impact this year or next. Pickens makes a impact now. That 3rd round pick is always a chance. History shows they are depth players or guys who end up out of the league in a few years.

They're trying to give Dak every possible chance, NOW, so that they can make a definitive decision on whether Dak and this offense can produce, or they cut ties in 2027 (save $100m) and redraft a QB (either with/without Pickens).

TMAC probably want a value trade on their Board, when compared to other possible gets and lets be fair we arent in the pool of one last piece for a Championship. Dak's 2026 contract is already guaranteed.....they dont have the luxury of time, his 2027 money becomes guaranteed on 6/18/26.

Good point. As I mentioned after you posted, Dak (and FO) needs it now, to decide on Dak's future years. Im a Dak skeptic, but at least give him a chance.....rather than hang him out to dry.

 

[Deionindahood]

Micah Parsons is not an issue in the locker room, people just don’t like that he post on Twitter. But who cares seriously

I don't care if Pickens is an issue either. Doesn't impact me. I actually find it funny.

Another guy who doesn’t understand the comp pick system employed by the NFL.

 

[Cowboys=SuperBowl]

You're taking Lamb off the field to go two TEs?

Ferguson is the man at TE.

 

[Majic]

Mortgage the future???

It was a 3rd round pick with huge upside and no risk.

The risk is you have over spent on a third round pick. Anything less than a successful season and either an extension or a 3rd or 4th round pick back has to be deemed a failure.

 

[DuncanIso]

He is a WR1.

He isn’t close to CDs level.

The Cowboys? They think money and marketing only. I think superbowl and championship... so yeah. Maybe.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Getting Pickens was. I said it back mid last season. Called it back then. Not Pickens but making a splashy move to appease the fans. It's an obvious Jerry move. Now trading for a LB or DT or Safety wouldn't be as sexy. Wouldn't garner over a 100 pages of comments from fan base like we have seen

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

You want some more opinion. They acquired the best receiver available in the league. They drafted the best guard in the draft, drafted the best pass rusher in the draft, drafted the best corner in the draft, and drafted the best receiver out of the backfield in the draft. That's my strong opinion.

Ok then. If they don't make the superbowl and win it then your opinion is wrong. Given so many best players they acquired. And so many best already on the team.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Mazi was playing a lot better towards the end of the year so i'll go off that.

A lot better than total crap waste of a DT is not saying much. He wouldn't start for any of the teams in playoffs. And half the other teams who didn't make the playoffs.

 

[BobSacamano]

Jay Toia would like a word with you.

F yeah
