Dallas Cowboys 2026 Offseason Thread

I really want us to keep Pickens, but honestly if his money has to be north of Lamb's I don't see how they can do it.

Trading Pickens before or during the draft might be more of an option than most of us expected.

No way they pay him more than Lamb, although I think the guy could be a decent #1 but he's going to price himself out of our market. Hopefully some team will be willing to trade for him if we can't get him signed.

I guess there would need to be a huge leap by Fluornoy as WR2 but he did flash impressively last year.

Well it's a pretty good WR draft. If they trade Pickens I would have to assume one of our early picks would go towards replacing him.

Miami got a 1st, 3rd and a swap of 4th rd picks for Waddle, and Pickens is younger, bigger and better than he is. I would have to think our draft haul would be similar if not better.

They must be at least thinking about it because at least one of our Top-30 visits is known to be Indiana WR Omar Cooper, who's expected to be picked in 15-30 area of the 1st rd.

Yep, I'd be good with all those viable options.
