Ok

Regular season fluff.

 

[America's Cowboy]

The Commanders ownership group, after initiating significant change, goes to the NFCCG in their first year. Their off season was add Samuel, Tunsil, Wise, Kinlaw and J. Jones in free agency. Apparently losing to Philly in the playoffs did not sit well with them.

Cowboys trade for Pickens in the off season and suddenly the team is ready to compete for the division title and playoff wins?

Trading for Pickens is not the only thing the Cowboys have done this offseason, so why lie? Why not tell the whole truth of what they have fully done so far?

I think they outsmarted themselves.

Pickens will be with us for one season. As much as Jerry adores WR's, he's not going to pay two of the highest WR salaries in the league.

That means the Cowboys are right back to square one in 2026. Unless another current Cowboy has a breakout, they will have to address the position in the next draft.

And even if another WR has a breakout, it will mean that they wasted a 3rd round pick on Pickens, a player they never needed in the first place.
