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

[RustyBourneHorse]

He won't get a third round comp contract. Those almost never happen.

It's not low risk when your ask yourself why a smart franchise like Pittsburgh dumped him. When have any of their other problem WRs worked out elsewhere?

Oh believe me, I am aware of his conduct. One, I live in Cleveland. Two, I have a lot of friends who are Steelers fans. I'm aware of the risk there. But, for a one year deal, not bad, and we still should be able to get some sort of comp pick for him if we don't resign him. I'm ok with this move.

Or because their quarterback is vastly superior to ours.

Literally took Washington from laughing stock to NFC championship game over night.

Only game up a 3rd and a 6th to get a good WR? I don’t believe it.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Washington’s roster is nothing special. If we’re still behind them, it’s because of the coaches and the organization behind them.

its the entire organization that counts....a disgruntled WR with off the field issues is not going to put us over the top, until we fix the defense.
Philly had #1 defense and their first 5 picks were defensive players.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Much more likely we extend him now and it blows up in our face than he plays on his expiring deal and we let him walk.

I'd rather we let him play it out and earn that next contract

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

They made the trade to improve their chances of going somewhere.

When are they going to focus on the most important position though?

Instead of rolling with the injury probe 3-5 guy.

You’re banking on Dak being bad and Daniel’s to not have a sophomore slump like nearly every other qb….good luck.

Textbook team building.

Tolbert finally has some help

They got Joe Milton for you. He will probably beat Dak at camp for you. Or Will Grier.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

This really is the issue. I like the trade, I think it move the Cowboys in the direction of more wins, but we still neglected parts of the defense and have total question marks at both tackle spots. I still struggle to view this team as a serious contender, and it feels like another early exit playoff team.

this is a regular season type trade. yes, more win in regular season. keeps arses in seats. and also a more jersey sales. its a money move. if he plays great and jerseys fly off the rack, then he will get resigned.

and I agree, this move won't translate to post season success and Jerry could care less.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Also shows that “changing the culture” talk by the HC is pure BS as Jerry undermines him yet again.

Look at Jerry’s history of dealing for WR.

Again, it’d be one thing if this was an over the top type move, but they aren’t ready to win and if Pickens does anything of significance they will be saddled with replacing him next year.

And again, again….wait until he doesn’t get his targets in his walk year. The guy threw a fit by not being drafted in the first, says dumb things on social media.

This is NOT what this team needed right now. It isn’t fantasy football.

Oh well, Jerry can’t help it when it comes to his corners and receivers. Thinks that’s how you win. Must be bombed when he watches playoff football.

To be fair, we do need a number 2 WR. And I'm aware of his conduct in Pittsburgh. However, the compensation isn't horrible, and it's a decent move. So, I am onboard with it.

Jerry playing chess when the other 31 teams playing checkers.

Yup !!!
Jerry's trades for WRs in the past have been outstanding !
Joey Galloway and Roy Williams would like a word with you.

 

[Carson]

This makes zero sense.

A 3rd for a one-year guy with major character issues on a team that isn't going anywhere this year anyway.

Weren’t people just whining for a WR on day 2 and 3??

Pickens is a top 2 deep threat in the league and comes in day one making the offense better.

I never understood this mentality. Let’s complain about spending a pick for a guy who may be good as Pickens

The compensation worries me a lot.

Relax. When was the last time Jerry Jones got fleeced in a trade?

Depends what the salary is. It can’t have great value now.

so who is this QB you want to lead the cowboys. who would you have picked in this draft to put us over the top.
do you have balls to put a name out and eat crow or gloat later!?

I know, I am asking a football question and you are more TMZ. I know its going to throw you off your game.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

They got Joe Milton for you. He will probably beat Dak at camp for you. Or Will Grier.

Milton will definitely play at some point when Dak gets hurts.

But I want a real QB in there.

Without that this team is nothing.

They whine we don’t do anything then whine why we did it lol. These guys…..

With the Cowboys, Pickens has a great opportunity to re-establish his career in the best way possible. He'll be welcomed to a team that needs his help desperately. Let's hope he makes the most of it. He can either become a hero or a villain in the Dallas scheme of things. His future will be at stake.

The truth of the matter is that he has everything to gain and everything to lose if he fails to respect the welcome that he's likely to receive. This offense can get a big boost if his response is a positive one. I fully expect that Dak will give him all the support that he'd like to see. Good things are likely to occur.
