Stephen: Nobody has called interested in trading for Pickens

Nope. Teams can't trade for him because then he has all of the contract leverage and the price for an extension goes way up. Players do not get traded in this context, ever.

Contract control matters.
I think you are splitting hairs here. Of course a trade would be contingent upon the team trading for Pickens agreeing to a new deal with Pickens.
 
If I follow the hypothetical sequence of events correctly, Pickens must first sign his franchise tag before any other interested party can even come into play.

So right now; since he hasnt signed that tag, negotiations are dead in the water.
Someone else had posted that no client of David Mulugheta had ever played on a franchise tag.
So that kinda caught my eye. Wrong he is

In my eyes It's basically back to replacing Micah with Pickens.
Smith-Ngigba signed for 41 per.

So with that said what are the Cowboys willing to pay Dak, Lamb AND Pickens?
The same question arose when it was Micah.
Same agent.
Stay tuned for drama.

There are many examples of non exclusive tagged players being traded. Typically the acquiring team just works out the parameters of a deal and negotiates with the trading team on compensation. Once the trade is made, the player quickly signs the new contract. Offer sheets don’t happen much anymore because teams aren’t willing to give up 2 firsts as compensation.
Ok? That doesn't change the fact that those players didn't have a lot of trade value. You'd have a point if those guys were going for premium picks.

Burns went for a 2nd and a 4th, Sneed went for a 3rd. Dallas isn't picking up the phone for those prices.

Yes. And that price is 2 first round picks lol. Nobody is going to give Pickens a number so high that Dallas won't match AND give up that draft capital.

It's not like Dallas is going to let him walk for a second and third.

Micah Parsons?

Davante Adams went for a 1st and 2nd.

Clark and a 3rd returned a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

You are wrong. Two 1st round picks is only required if Pickens signs an offer sheet. The last time I remember that happening was when Jerry did it.

Omg yes, I know how offer sheets work. The trade price is set at two firsts.

What I am saying is that Dallas is insulated against any trade offers of less than two firsts. There's no realistic scenario in which Pickens verbally agrees to a $40m AAV deal and then Dallas trades him for a second-round pick lol.
 
The price isn’t two first round picks necessarily. It’s whatever the two teams agree to in a trade scenario.
Yea.

The price of a truck isn't $60k, it's whatever the dealership agrees to. But they're not going to agree to $20k when the price is $60k.
 
Micah Parsons?
Wasn't tagged. GB had the fifth year to lighten the impact of the contract. If they couldn't sign him, they could always tag him for another year.

A player who is already tagged could just sit out until they get a ridiculous number.

You are the one who brought up a second round pick. I showed you that Adams returned a 1st and 2nd.

You have gone from “Players do not get traded in this context, ever” to “yea but no team will do it”. I never said whether it would or wouldn’t happen, just that it can and has numerous times.
