Pickens on his contract expectations

[acr731]

Now that the highest paid quarterback is Mahomes it’s pretty well capped at his contract’s AAV. What quarterback can possibly say their resume indicates they should be paid more than he is. How many quarterbacks in the contemporary NFL have even been to multiple Super Bowls, let alone won multiple Super Bowls? Like…zero?

Dak says 'hold my beer. I got 1 vote for MVP that time, that should be more than enough'.

Pickens IMO is just as good as CeeDee if not better. Jerry has to find a way to keep them both. Know it's going to be hard but get it done-Jerry!!

In 2026 the Cowboy’s two highest paid receivers’ contracts have a combined AAV of $61 million. The two highest paid receivers’ contracts on the Commanders, Giants, and Eagles, all three teams put together, have a combined AAV of $88 million.

Jerry is getting it done. Give him some credit.

Price going up.

This is essentially the same contract as Justin Jefferson.

Lamb drops a spot on the list

He said they can and want to. They will find a way.

Is it really going up?
Most said it would be around mid $35 million a year. And seems that is what others are singing for. Except JSN.
GP getting $27 million this year. So they can find an additional $8 million come 2027. And the cap will go up.

It can easily be done.

I don’t know about “most”. Maybe you and me.

Until recently, only a few of us even wanted him to be extended.

“Most” people here at the zone have been doing three things

1) claiming he wants too much money
2) saying he should sign for less than market
3) saying the cowboys can’t afford two elite WRs

And that’s leaving out all of those who claim he’s a team chemistry weapon of mass destruction
