Maybe there’s more to to it I’m missing but according to Spotraci read he’s projected to command a deal that’s similar to what I hear we plan to pay Olave. Should we give him a look ?

He was a major head case in Pittsburgh. For a coach who kept ANTONIO BROWN under control.

High reward but also high risk.

No way. I’m here in Dallas. Major mental issues. Do not blow the salary cap on this guy. You can’t trust him.

This! As much as I like the talent, he’s probably even more of a liability (potentially head case wise) than MT was near the end

No. He’d ruin the culture in the locker room

That ship has sailed. Dallas will franchise him. I wouldn’t trust signing him in free agency anyway. Last year was the year to get him to see how he meshed with the coaches and locker room on a trial run. But we went with Vele instead.

We traded for Vele like 4 months after Pickens was traded

Thanks for the replies. I was just curious. Outside looking in I think he’s a much bigger threat than Olave but Olave and Shough do already have a ton of chemistry. I just hate the thought of paying Olave 30 mil a year when he’s struggled to stay on the field up until this season . I’m afraid of Michael Thomas situation all over again. Back to Pickens I had no idea about his character. Hard pass then if he’s a big ole head case.

Haven't figured you out with this seaux shite yet. You've done it for awhile and i don't think you realize you're spelling it like its pronounced so or sew. You're a moron and obviously think you're being clever and saying sucks.

They were both after the draft. Our gm didn’t realize we needed a big physical receiver after the draft results?

Dallas had as much of a meaningful season as we did last year.

What does that have to do with Picken’s ability?

They traded the best pass rusher in the league for future assets right before the season. They fired their defensive coordinator after the year ended. So obviously offense wasn’t the issue.

Saints are lucky they probably have a top 3 defensive coordinator in the league.

The way you hype this guy up is funny. That’s all.

I was high on him. In the draft threads that year I wanted him in the 2nd. He has undeniable talent.

He finally showed this year what he’s capable of with a decent qb. An all pro receiver.

We had the chance to get him cheap for a 3rd rounder. And now he’s by far the top free agent in the league. But I’m not an idiot, he coukd blow up at any time. I wouldn’t touch him in free agency now.

There are hundreds of players every single year that 31 other teams missed on. Then. You.
