How much would you pay to keep Pickens if he continues at a high level?

[bigdnlaca]

He is interesting because if he takes #1 money, it will be with a team that won’t be better than Dak and it will be Pittsburgh all over again for him.

If he truly value numbers, he will try not to command so much money and try to stay in Dallas or a SB contender with a qb that will get him the ball.

 

[Swagger]

If he wants to win a ring then it won't be in Dallas either. Not a cheap shot but based on the last 30 years.

Tee Higgins signed a four-year, $115 million contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals on March 17, 2025, with the first two years of the deal fully guaranteed. The contract has an average annual value (AAV) of $28.75 million

So he will be looking at circa $30 million a year.

the speed at which salaries increase, who knows, maybe more. BUT NO WAY is he taking less IMO.
You think Garret Wilson is better than Pickens? I dont.

Garrett Wilson signed a four-year, $130 million contract extension with the New York Jets in July 2025, which includes $90 million in guaranteed money. thats about 32.5 million per.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Will he want to sign here if we keep losing.

I think so. Dallas took a chance on him when every other team, including the one he was on in Pittsburgh, thought he wasn't worth the headache. Also he has an A-plus relationship with CeeDee and Dak.

Pretty good example

I think right around high end number woukd get it done if you did it now. The question is will Jerry? Can Jerry? We’ve got a lot of players on very large second contracts

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

i would trade pickens .

you guys always want to put it on Jerry. Pickens already said he wanted to play out this season. It is 100% in his best interests to do so.

 

[Relayer]

Zero
You dont pay headcases like Pickens
Hes on his best behavior because he wants a contract
Why are Cowboys fans so stupid? Why dont they learn?

Do you think maybe his agent has told him to get his crap together? He has the opportunity to make a lot of money in the NFL and he's blowing his chances.

 

[Relayer]

No way. Pickens is a 1.

He’s getting paid big time unless he just loves it here and can take a cut.

You'd have to make him a decent offer, $25M/yr for 4 years. Maybe light on the guaranteed because of his history.

 

[Loso86]

He'll want $20+ million so he's gone.

He'll want 30 im sure

Its didn't stop Myles Garrett.

Im sure he has but it wont last
This guy is a huge diva and it will come out once he is paid

I’m not trying to put anything on Jerry. I simply said if you are gonna do it now is better. If he wants to stay here it won’t matter if it’s now or after the season. Jerry needs to decide now though. That was the problem with Micah. Jerry just needs to make a decision

 

[KingCorcoran]

I think so. Dallas took a chance on him when every other team, including the one he was on in Pittsburgh, thought he wasn't worth the headache. Also he has an A-plus relationship with CeeDee and Dak.

Who is his agent? Is it an agent that would encourage his client to sign with Dallas for less money than he could get elsewhere?

so Jerry goes to Pickens and says we will sign you to the same deal T higgins got. And Pickens says, Id love to stay, but not for that money. I am a number 1 and want to be paid like 1. he says he wants 32 million per. Now what do you do? Or maybe Pickens knows and believes in himself and he says nah, I want to wait for this season to play out.

Then are we still saying Jerry messed up?

Jerry goes to Pickens and says anything about an extension Pickens will say call my agent. So, yes, Jerry does that and he messed up.

If he’s only being offered close to the tag amount it makes sense to accept getting tagged and perhaps become a free agent after the 2026 season. A second tag will be expensive.

there is no rule that doesnt allow jerry to talk directly to the player if the player talks to jerry. NONE

 

[KingCorcoran]

I didn’t say there was such a rule. No rule against Pickens politely informing Jerry Jones to call his agent to discuss contract terms. Are you saying there is a rule prohibiting Pickens telling Jerry that? Who is Pickens’ agent?
