Pickens has shown what he’s capable of. All 32 teams understand what can happen if a player is disgruntled. Every team has had one (or more) at one time or another. Suggesting teams won’t understand why Pickens’ effort lacks some zeal is nonsense. They’ll all know exactly why.
It's gotten way out of hand.
I would normally agree but not in Pickens case. He started this with his antics in PIT. I’m not saying he deserves his reputation or not but that is the reality.
It’s also “reality” that he wants a multi-year extension. It’s also reality that wide receivers are getting larger and larger contracts. Thank you Seattle and Atlanta. Nacua and Olave won’t come cheap. By the time Pickens “proves himself” to the Cowboys some more $40 million AAV will be a bargain.
No one else seemed to want him. So how can he only blame the Cowboys?
Unbelievably so.
Because they’re the team that franchised tagged him after a great year. It seems as if they want to keep him for as little compensation as possible. It’s why players, when the circumstances present themselves (shoe is on the other foot), want as much compensation as possible. And fans pretend to not understand why. Like now.
My original point got hijacked somehow. If he doesn’t give it his all, he only hurts himself. He can be upset, he can make the business decision and not go all out so he has less chance of getting hurt. Again, how does that help him in the future? If he’s honest with himself, he’ll realize he put himself in this situation. The cowboys and the league apparently want to see more from him before making a big commitment. Again, he did this to himself and I don’t think other teams are going to be sympathetic to him if he doesn’t give it his all and behave. If other teams trusted him, he’d be on another team by now.
And you favor an incompetent, idiot billionaire over the team.
He’ll be with the team when he’s required to be. He’ll make more than a sufficient effort to indicate he’s a valuable asset. The scenario he’s in, through no fault of his own except he agreed to play in the NFL, forces it to seem like everything he does this season is in his own best interests. You’re making that argument. And it’s true. Wouldn’t it be better if the Cowboys showed he is a valuable asset? That he is a necessary piece to getting to a Super Bowl? That his efforts are on behalf of the team, not just himself, by signing him to an appropriate deal?
I've berated Jerry for years. Stop your lying and trolling.
