Keep 1: Pickens or JPJ

[LouBrown]

No one said they cant. They wont. The owner let a top-3 defensive player in the league go because his feelings were hurt and micah didnt want to take a discount, yet im supposed to believe they will re-sign a WR and a corner to $30m + each?

We would have two receivers making over $35m, a QB thats making $60m, and two corners making over $20m.

No way they do this

Maybe, maybe not.

pickens.
i like porter.
but forced to choose.
pick.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I can see a scenario where one gets a deal (Porter) and the other gets tagged in 27, but after that, I highly doubt both are Cowboys in 28.


Who would you rather keep?

Porter. I love Pickens but he is a # 2 WR on this team. Porter is a bonifide #1 CB

 

[buddahjoe445]

Since Cowboys love Pitt players, why not just hire their scout so we can just draft them instead of trading for them?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Porter. Give me defense over two super-expensive WRs when there's only one football to go around.

Plus it would really be Porter plus whatever you can get with the savings, because Porter will be cheaper.

 

[charron]

So the thinking is Porter is holding out for a 1 year deal? I know i'm crazy but that doesn't make sense.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Trade Lamb keep both.

They’re not trading Lamb. Dude is about to be 3rd on the all-time Cowboys list, he’s on a HOF trajectory, never really injured, Dallas grown and a favorite of the Jones. It ain’t happening.

And it shouldn't.

Threads like this is why LL Cool J knocked you out.

 

[diamonddelts]

I look at Downs & Barham and wonder what we could build if we went all in on that side of the ball.

Another speed bump for the run.

In Terminator voice "Wrong."

 

[Gambit]

I’d trade Pickens for some 2027 picks we desperately need in a loaded draft

Its not a hidden secret that its a loaded draft. Other teams are also aware of this.

Teams, for the most part, value those picks and lower contracts I dont forsee a huge haul for any player with 2027 picks this year. It would be for 2028 capital

Let's see how JPJ plays here first...

 

[Bigrandrn]

joey porter. 8 days a week.

we need defense. the offense thing by itself is not working

Yup, plus over the past few years, when Dak was healthy, we had a top level O a couple times, without needing a second stud WR. We need D help more than a second stud WR who is only getting wr2 nu,hers (since Ceedee is going to continue being the number 1 and get most of the balls).

 

[Bigrandrn]

we've seen Ceedee Lamb and the no name WRs before. it doesn't work.

Flat out false. Go look on “Pro Football Reference”, look at 2023 and our O and D rankings, we had the number 1 ranked scoring O in the entire NFL, and Ceedee was the only quality WR. Dak lead the league in TD passes that year. And then go look at 2022….#4 ranked scoring O, scrubs at wr2. 2021 we also had the number 1 scoring O, with Amari cooper as #2.

Hes trolling

There could be a team before the trade deadline that is in a win now mode who suffered a critical injury. Unlikely, but you never know

 

[ICP]

We haven't even seen JPJ play a snap on this defense and we already want to choose him over Pickens. Yeah, imma wait and see just how much he helps before I open the wallet. then again we are talking about Dumb & Dumber so they will probably open the floodgates for him like they did with QW

I know. Im saying what they should do. They wont.
