Not trading Pickens

[Davidlee1973]

Big mistake. This team is going no where. Chiefs just traded for downs. If I was Jerry I would have atleast called them. See if they wanted to make an offer. He is not going to be here in 2027. He will go away and we get no value in return .

If they want Porter back they can sign him and franchise tag Pickens and trade him if before the draft if they want.

There was no way Jerry was going to trade players away at 4-5 in a weak division because that goes against his "keep hope alive as long as possible" marketing strategy.

The moment the Cowboys beat the Colts, the odds of them trading away any player disappeared.

When they lost against the Cardinals the week before, the odds of them trading for any player disappeared.

Franchising a guy that already faked a back injury. Good stuff Mr Jones.

Who’s to say they don’t calll? Chiefs don’t trade for hour like him. I keep telling you guys nobody wants to trade for anyone with this owners stench on them.

Bingo. Jerry knows there's still plenty of poor suckers out there that will ride this ship right to the bottom with him.

Agree. I guess the plan is to land a sweet compensatory pick.

Water is wet. Teams make decisions based on how good or bad they are. Jerry focuses all energy on protecting his "around the rim" philosophy, which we are only in because of a putrid division.

Do we really need Pickens? Or can any WR with blow by speed pull coverage from Lamb?

Once the playoff window is closed is Mingo going to be given a chance to prove himself?

They can tag him in 2027 or sign him.

Let's see what happens with Giants on Thursday. Their qb is banged up.

Had the trade deadline been a week later, after the 49er game, the decision might have been different.

Jerry Jones is holding on to hope, not a good look for an NFL GM.

That still won't look as bad as it will for an NFL owner come Sunday.

I'm going to root my heart out for the Cowboys to turn things around starting with that game. That doesn't mean that I get to ignore reality in the meantime.

Sometimes, a GM has to make the hard choice. He owns that choice and his job might depend on the outcome.....unless he is also the owner.

Some valuable players won't be resigned as a result of keeping Pickens. This has to indicate that they plan on keeping him after this season. This may also mean little chance of enhancing their future draft capitol.

Therefore, pretty much what we see today will be the same on opening day 2027.

It is not just a mistake it is absolutely moronic and stupid

As my man Barry White sung, “Let the Music Play On”, the band on the Titanic kept it playing till the end.
