Would you take a late first round pick and a fourth round pick If the Cowboys were struggling to get a long-term deal done for George Pickens We do have a big trade the NFL Jalen Waddle is on the move from the Miami Dolphins and he has headed to the Denver Broncos Broncos are gonna be good I think that fits for them you put zoomi zoomi next to Cortland Sutton's big old self Mm-hmm. I think that works for them, but what I want to get to is the compensation So Denver's gonna get Jalen Waddle and the Dolphins fourth-round pick in the draft Miami's gonna get Denver's first round pick They're late three and they're late four So essentially the 30th pick in the draft and a fourth rounder for Jalen Waddle And I'm gonna localize this for you guys Uh-oh Pick Would you Take a late first round pick and a fourth round pick if the Cowboys were struggling to get a long-term deal done
For George Pickens I stirred up so I stirred it up before I before I answered that, you know, I'm gonna pull it down I'm gonna pull it clear. You don't want to answer before I answered that it didn't wait I'm gonna take us back to a conversation that we had an Indie we're gonna harken back The conversation that we had at Tom's watch bar. Oh, we were only there seven times in four days and we had a conversation with a very prestigious figure we did and the in the NFL world at the button John I'm gonna never We had a we had a very Because we're journalists. We found them without clearance around. We want to ask from us. We would be where was clearance at the time? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you working? I'm corner's man. I'm right the wire Then I'm working the car bar working the corn um, and so we had that conversation and What we took away from that conversation was the one thing that we I guess the people that were there could agree upon that
It was very clear that playing on the franchise tag was not something Not looking forward to and don't do not a priority for them that they didn't they didn't and I'm not putting words in the man's mouth. I'm just saying from what we got what we I gathered from that conversation His client playing on the franchise tag was something that Not planning to not plan to not hoping to not hoping to not plan into right Either one of those not and not going to and then you start hearing the conversation Then you start hearing you know the cowboys put this out there the the technical tag out there So they can kind of go and see what the market is and we all talked about during our time in India and and show here is This is probably the one agent that you don't want to give those type of offense to Because if you're talking about a one in a three for a waddle and The franchise tag in the way that it's Constructed that George is under is supposed to be two number ones with the ability to
Negotiate one of those number one right or both or both you can take whatever you can do in different Compensation and so I think as this thing goes on and I told you guys buckle up because that's what I was basically informed After that conversation seat belted about how this how this process was going to go I Think waddle now gives you kind of a understanding of what a a High-level receiver young receiver can go for In the trademark is George Pickensworth more or less than Jalen waddle more to me right now but If they're talking about a one and maybe a three I Think this is a conversation now that Maybe some cowboy fans weren't thinking about because they were only thinking about two number ones But now seeing this this now puts into the atmosphere Oh, so there are teams willing to give up multiple picks for a wide receiver one of those picks being of a first round pick
Included in those multiple picks right that to me is is is Interesting to say the least and before I said a question Jeff. I want to ask you are over to huh Because he's now the question did he we're over to me over to what was the question? Would you do the right would you do a late one and a four for George pickens? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and before I asked the question It's important to note that Waddle is under contract. Oh, he's already gotten his extension So he's cost control. Yes, so pickens may be worth less because you would also have to turn around and pay or you got to pay You know, it's we we are the son that Waddle is on the car. You've already got his extension You know, and I think to your point is that I was saying with Alec Pierce thing Pickens ain't trying to be picking don't look at himself as don't in on the level of Jalen Waddle Look at himself in the level Pierce. I think that's Jalen Waddle disrespect honestly. It may be I'm just saying what pickens in his Representative in the way the cowboy's been talking for the last season nobody would have said George pickens is worth
Tell my dad, okay, I mean it and I'm just saying the pickens look at himself in the vein of Justin Jefferson and CD Lamb He does not look at himself as a number to receive or the second option. He's looking at I'm gonna get first option money Yeah, and that's we you know, that's why Pierce's money doesn't mean anything to pickens and I'm seeing and I'm sure this trade Compensation of what else that that's not gonna make Moologeta and pickens blinking I was also interesting to note Pickens and CD put themselves out on Social media yesterday writing around paling around and in a car together. I don't know if they need to be pals Well, we got George and CD breaking curfew. I need I need I need CD I'm out of line is anybody mad about the money CDs already said paying what you want you can pay more than me That's my guy, and I think it's important that they have a good relationship. They have a close relationship this this
Contract situations not messing up their relationship and their ability to get along
