TRADED Porter traded to Cowboys (2027/6th round, 2028/2nd round)

There is only 14 games left this season. 13 for two teams. There’s a big difference between the two receivers you indicated and George Pickens. They weren’t about to become free agents. No team is giving up any significant draft capital for a player they can’t stop from becoming a free agent in less than six months. After the Cowboys final regular season game they can sign Pickens. At that point why would Pickens be in a hurry to sign? As a free agent he could pick where he plays. Any team interested in him, and paying him, would simply wait for him to become a free agent. If he’s going to be expensive they may as well sign him and not give up draft assets.

That's just not true. They were about to become free agents. Brown was in the final year of his rookie deal. Hill was entering the final year of his contract. IF Pickens is tagged it's the same. He doesn't decide if he is tagged, the team does. Devante Adams was tagged and then traded to the Raiders for a 1st and 2nd rounder and then signed to a full market deal.

You might be right about Tomlin but I wouldn't be shocked at all if Shotty is sent packing if this team doesn't make a playoff run. Jerry is 83 and probably not buying any green bananas these days. He wants to win now. Thats why we suddenly have become so active in the trade market. He couldn't care less about 2 years on a coaching contract. He's running out of time.

If thats the case then why did he hire him in the first place? Did he really think Schotty was some gem everyone else passed over for decades?
