I don't think he's that dumb. He saw how 9 games with Dak yields his entire season catching passes from lower tier QBs. We should just pay him what he's worth and get the chips on the table for 2026-27. ALL-IN!
His numbers are off. Only half the games are at home.
Pickens is barely 24. A young pup. Getting better each year, each day. He's maturing. Yes, he's pretty close to Moss. NOBODY is Randy, so I get that, but even guys on tv brought that name up as a comp. Nate Burleson DG did, and others. So I'm not the only one. George is the better route runner than Randy.
I don't trust the player totally. His maturity has to grow. It comes with the territory. Look at where we are with the projected cap next year. A penalty here and there isn't going to hurt us as much as a tag. We can't have him at almost 30M against the cap next year. If they extend him, release Diggs, it's pretty much a wash. Diggs pays for Pickens in cap money. Then we hope for the best. The more you try to avoid risk, the higher in price you pay towards the cap and real dollars.
Yes,true, so why even agree to the meeting at all? Why even agree on the parameters of a deal, then shake on it? Micah is an adult supposedly, so he's not culpable? Bothers me because your word is your bond. I'm old-school. I get it, it looks shady by Jerry. He shouldn't have done it.
Exactly. Why not? Seems like a no brainer.ALL-IN, baby. LFG Cowboys!
There are contenders above us who need a WR. He won't have to dumpster dive for a job.
My statement about Steelers fans was sarcastic. It was in response to insiders laughing that we gave up a 3rd for Pickens. Would you bet any amount of money that the 3rd round pick the Steelers got for Pickens will be a better player? I wouldn't.
He'd def be dangerous in KC, LA, San Diego etc. IDK where else he'd go outside that. Ravens? Bangals don't need him. Philly might try to go after him if they cut Brown, but outside of the the first 3 I mentioned, he'd def rather play with Dak and our offense.
We're told that the meeting wasn't supposed to be about a contract. So he gets him in there and ambushes him with contract talk. Micah says sure Jerry, but talk to my agent. Jerry tries to pressure him into accepting this backdoor deal and Micah says, nah, I didn't sign anything. The play blew up in Jerry's face. I have no idea why Jerry isn't facing disciplinary consequences for it.
Well since you weren't serious, I agree. But it's not like us fans don't have any bad takes on things.
Buffalo, and Tampa likely won't have Evans going forward. There's a few. All I'm saying is that we aren't his only good option.
I coached competitive softball for 20 years. Every year I would get some kid that would come tryout for my team and I would have multiple people telling me... oh you dont want that player, or their parents are toxic, stay away from them. And every year I woud add that player and never have any problem with them.
I wish the owners felt like that. But they've let the players hold them hostage.
how many Cowboy players have we lost that we wanted to keep in the past 20 years?
Yep, everything works together. I think for the first time in many years we are actually realky close to having a real playoff team that’s a threat to win it all. If we can keep lamb and Pickens, our trio of DT’s all together. That’s a huge thing. I’d love to keep RB the same but he’s earned a nice contract and this is his first chance to get paid. I don’t know if it’s possible to keep him. Hope we can. Then we need Jerry to build on what’s he’s done this year. It’s hard to praise Jerry but this year he’s really did a nice job. Wish it could have came sooner but deals are there when they are there. He now has to hit on these 2 picks, or parlay them into more picks, but we have to get it right. Personally I’d rather have 2 realky goid players than 3-4 picks. But who knows who will be there when we pick. No tacos, get good solid prospects. Don’t reach for need. I’d rather pick a guy at a position that’s not a big need, but get a great player.
I can't speak on that but my guess is, it requires much proof to enforce it.
Did you watch Nacua? And he doesn't have Lamb across from him drawing double coverage.
His agent knows that matters.
Play action has been crucial during this run.
