Lamb has a significant cap hit in 2027. He’ll need a new deal after this season to mitigate his expense. He’s two years older than Pickens. It may make more sense to trade Lamb. Sign Pickens.
About reading the Mark Twain novel.
I knew you were going to say this!! Can we expect the same output as of last season? Do you feel that coordinators will roll more coverage his way to limit the big plays??
How big is the hit? Any chance of him taking a step back to let Pickens shine more to get his bag?? With that said there's no way to get out of the lamb deal, trade him and give GP the big deal??
I'm done with you lol lol lol lol lol
You need another hobby. Maybe get a girlfriend.
My hobby is living rent free in your brain
Saw an article allegedly from nfl coordinators and they said that teams shifted to game planning GP late in the season cause he was on fire
How many points the offense scores won't determine if we go to the playoffs or not.
Lol
First, Pickens said he wasn't interested in signing a long term deal. It's not like they could have held him down and forced him to sign a team friendly deal.
The Cowboys made the most prudent decision on Pickens they realistically could make. Nonetheless, they’re paying him $27.298 million to get another year closer to being free of the Cowboys. The 2027 tag will cost the Cowboys approximately $32.8 million, and a third tag in 2028 will be over $47 million. Pickens is actually very much in control of his future as a player. He and his agent seem to have a plan. Wonder if the Cowboys do?
The last 5 words in your paragraph is the big key to all this.
LOL no. It's only you freaks that worry about character. I couldn't care less. It's about signing players for the least against the cap. That's all that matters. The Eagles do it all the time. The Cowboys don't. This crap about Pickens not wanting to sign a long term deal is ******** at best. Of course he would have signed a long term deal. The Cowboys simply didn't want to give another WR 100M in guaranteed money. I don't care about head cases. I care about how they play on the field. Let the coaching staff worry about the head case.
Again, he wasn't willing to sign a long term deal last year. And I guarantee when he flamed out you would have been one of the first ones running in here to chirp about how you knew it would happen and if only the Eagles blah blah blah
He's not in any kind of control until after next year unless he wants to sit. Otherwise the Cowboys control him this year and next.
Not entirely true. He can control where he can be traded by simply telling any team interested he will not sign a long term deal with them. No one is going to give up much for a one season rental. Or partial season rental. Soon as the season ends and then he becomes a free agent he can’t traded at all. Cowboys will have to tag him and then he controls a trade again sans a deal he wants. Worse case scenario he is forced to play for the Cowboys, but now for almost $33 million. A 20% increase in pay, and the salary cap is not going up by 20% next season. Good money for a WR2. All against the cap. At some point Dallas will want to do something with him. He’ll want a huge contract if he plays well this season. If he plays poorly, no team is going to be compelled to give up much in trade for him.
I think you may be getting the timeline a little bit muddied or, more likely, simply aren’t recalling the facts
No one else wanted him, neither for more than a third round pick nor any takers this year. Why would the cowboys have signed a perceived malcontent right after they got him? Were you comfortable taking that risk after the way things went down in PIT? I bet you weren’t even happy that we traded for him at the time.
