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

[TNCowboy]

Will he even play this year without a new deal?

 

[Ranching]

Bang.

This can't possibly end badly.

Corny one liner to follow a thread. You're so predictable.

Pittsburgh has an eye for talented but troubled WRs. AB, Bryant, Claypool, Pickens etc...
No doubt he's talented, but there was a reason he fell to the 2nd. He's a stage 10 diva.
Last year he was more interested in facemasks, penalties, pouting and fighting.

He got fined for an inappropiate message on his eye black tape last year. Surely, a guy pouting about lack of targets will be a team player here.
Tomlin even said publicly he needs to grow up.

He's gonna love it when we force the ball to CeeDee all game. Absolutely love it.

I bet this is the key to his maturing.

That would be a lot of money invested in your starting WRs.

Many teams have two no 1 receivers this day and age. Just look at Cincy, Philly to name a few

 

[chicago JK]

He has the same agent as Micah. I am sure the agent will give Dallas a discount after Jerry saying he didn’t know Micah’s agents name a few weeks ago.

 

[Risen Star]

We got a top WR and kept our 4th round pick.

Round of applause for the front office.

 

[Verdict]

"A" for effort but wrong culture for this player. The good news is the team just got a lot more interesting. The bad news is Mike Tomlin couldnt make it work with this player.

Might be a one year rental and letting him walk for a comp pick or a trade out by the Cowboys if he is good enough to tag.

All in Baby!!!

Good news: Jerry Jones and the front office solidly upgraded wide receiver #2 in this offense.

Bad news: Some Cowboys fans, who have incorrectly stated CeeDee Lamb was a diva wide receiver, will most likely find out what a true diva wide receiver is very soon.

Miami too. Just Tyreek is too busy impregnating half of Miami.

 

[Ranching]

Damn, some of you wake up, negative. LOL! I'd say, have a nice day, but most of you can't.

You'd like to think the Cowboys spoke with him before agreeing on a trade.

This trade has been kicked around apparently for a month. I would think they’ve talked to the player’s agent during that period to make sure he’ll report on time and play.

 

[chicago JK]

I am not really against the trade. Dallas needed playmakers. Maybe you preferred cooper for free but he is at the age where you can start a decline and last year (in not good scenarios in Cleveland and than mid season trade) he was not good.

I think we know how these things typically end with Dallas but I guess I am ok with this. Our skill players outside Lamb were just bottom of the league. Pickens helps improve the talent.

That would be amazing. Trade a third for a guy who holds out.

Unique advantages of the structure here.

 

[Spottswoode]

Can we just merge this post with the other Pickens post about blowing smoke on trades?

Maybe we can just add oops to the title.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Shotty changing the culture with “high character” guys already.

Shotty was hired specifically to not be in control of anything, just as I’ve been saying all along.

This trade proves it.

THIS IS A JERRY move I bet lol

 

[Risen Star]

Lamb
Pickens
Tolbert
Mingo
Turpin
Flournoy

You like? Would you change the order at all?

Anyone who mentions Campbell catches these hands.

And Pickens is just entering his prime.

Do not seduce me into liking this.

 

[fivetwos]

The way I see it, he becomes a potential comp pick if we do not resign him after the season. If he plays great, we can basically get a 3rd round pick back via a comp pick if the contract is high. If not, we still should get a comp pick, and we get a WR, which we need. So, to me, despite the compensation, I think it's a low risk deal. Plus, fwiw, we got a 7th back in the deal too. So, all in all, not bad.

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.
