Would you trade Pickens?

No team is going to give up a premium pick for an impending free agent. Whether it’s here or elsewhere, Pickens will get a big contract in the offseason. That nets us a compensatory pick, I would think at minimum a 4th. Is any team trading their 3rd round pick for 8-10 games of Pickens? Obviously I have no idea, but seems pretty unlikely

How do you think Micah got traded?
 
No. Unless he’s a problem.

Jerry committed to Dak and I expect he will be with us the next 2 or 3 years. You build to win next year or the next. Really spend on free agency. Spend draft resources on the defensive side. Take a legit shot at all in. We can get creative with the FA contracts where hopefully after this “window” we have some fundamental pieces in place and contracts we trade or eat (for a year) while we rebuild.

Or trade him and let’s start the rebuild. Trade Dak, Pickens and anyone else who isn’t critical to breaking in a new qb. Then let’s direct our drafts towards finding that qb.

Obviously Pickens has hinted at the possibility of being a 1B receiver. Some teams may be convinced that he can be that guy.

I am pleased with Pickens’ play and arguably he is holding the world together right now for the Cowboys. But Tolbert, Turpin and Flournoy also have been making a few plays.

I don’t think that Pickens makes this team a SB contender this season. I also think that he will want a team to back up the Brinks truck for him in the offseason.

Having said all of the above, what draft pick compensation would it take for you to trade away Pickens prior to the trade deadline?

One FRP would definitely do it for me. One second round pick and a contributing depth player would probably do it for me, if the player was at a position of immediate need or borderline starting level player.

Why do our fans always wanna trade our actually good players?

Stop being more a fan of the draft, than a fan of the team.
 
You work to sign Pickens asap. Price is going up and is probably close to what CeeDee is making.

Lol,
The concept of trading for a player and then want to trade them 4 games into the season is just absurd.
I’d guess even trying would cause his value to bottom out due to suspected buyers remorse.

That said, I’m guessing part of what led to the Micah fiasco is Jerry trying to work out a way of signing both players and there’s absolutely no way in a snow filled day in hell Jerry would consider trading him!

It’s more probable they sign him to a 3 year extension before the season ends!

For 2 firsts and a TE
 
Pickens should be traded , yes .

We wont win in post season , its time to rebuild .
 
I'm not trading Pickens and would do everything in my power to resign the guy. Pickens is someone that D coordinators account for at all times on the field. Size, Hands and a Dawg on the field who can bring in those tough contested passes. You pair him with CD and your WR core is complete. It's not a WR going into draft that I would take over Pickens and would love to be convinced if so?

First 4 picks in next year's draft should be LB, DT, S, and DE (not in this order) fill in depth positions during the back end of the draft and free agency.

Pickens is still playing under his rookie deal. 2025 is the last year of that deal so he will be a UFA when the season is over. Therefore he can't be traded.

He can be tagged and or traded before the deadline.

I agree. Keep every legit player we have. They signed the qb to a huge contract that they think aligns with his prime years. He’s here for 2 or 3 years. Let’s do some of those strategic salary cap contracts and get some legit defensive players (maybe coaches too) here for the next 2 years and take our best shot. I would try to come out of this 2 or 3 year window with a solid line and a good wr for our new qb if we fail.

Pickens trade value hasn't risen. Teams are either trading for him for this year only or they trade and sign him to a long term deal. Jerry would be lucky to break even on any deal.

needing more than 30 years, when will you understand Jerry and the Cowboys are not in it for the SB?

Yep, we've got to get away from this 'Jerry Think'.....can I achieve the same or similar on a cheaper budget. Make a football (not financial) decision. If it continues to work extend Pickens, as you say, he compliments CeeDee and provides us a punch, Similarly, Javonte appears to fit in. The only possible Offensive question mark MAYBE Tackle ......park that side of the ball and move onto upgrading the Defense.
