Pickens to Dallas

[GemCity]

Hmmmm…wondering if DK regrets his move yet?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Bummer, I was looking forward to the drama

At least they have a good QB situation and warm weather. Oh wait.........

DK's salary makes more sense with the realization that he's being expected to play every offensive skill position at the same time apparently.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

DK got what he wanted.

DK wanted to be the man.

DK will now be the only man.

LOL.

Steelers will be a bottom 10 team.

 

[Aircrew]

Kind of expected they'd move Pickens after the DK trade and new contract. He was already a headcase, adding DK to the mix plus handing him big money wasn't going to help that situation. Good deal for Dallas, basically a 3rd rounder.

Steelers woke up realizing they don’t have a QB this morning to get him let alone 2 diva WRs the ball

 

[Rat]

This is a dumb trade for Dallas. In recent years under Tomlin, the Steelers have traded away the following wideouts:

Antonio Brown
Martavis Bryant
Chase Claypool
Dionte Johnson

Perhaps the league should be investigating what they're doing to these guys in Pittsburgh, but if the Steelers are trying to trade you a receiver, maybe you should be wondering if there's a reason why. And pre-trade, Pickens has more of a reputation of already being a head case than any of those others did.

My math lesson for dot net today!

Steelers = I hate them
Cowboys = I hate them

Steelers and Cowboys Pain = Win, Win, for the Seahawks

The math is mathin! LOL

 

[HawkRiderFan]

I guess long term the Steelers decided that DK Metcalf > Pickens and they were only going to pay 1 receiver. For just this year, this doesn't really do much for them. I guess the upgraded from Pickens to DK for the price of swapping a current 2 for a future 3? Ignoring the day 3 pick swap

But we can look forward to possible fist fights on the Dallas sideline - I'm doubt CeeDee lamb and Pickens will get along.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Oh man, those stories just write themselves. Or however you would word that.

 

[Ostatehawk]

Right? Two total divas on a train bound for nowhere; with a crazy geriatric at the helm.

It will be like that movie Snowpiercer.

Maybe they are making room for Lazard to come with Rodgers.

Could the Steelers fill that now-vacant spot in their wide receivers room with a player near and dear to Aaron Rodgers’ heart?

I cant even pick where I want Hardknocks to go.

Browns - QB shitshow - rub and tug twins if they sign Tucker to pair with Watson.
Dallas - Diva WR sideshow and just Jerry in general.
Minnesota - All your eggs in one basket with JJ who has played exactly ZERO NFL regular season games.

Steelers would be fun. The center snaps the ball and there's nobody to catch it. DK jumping up and down because he's open and then Mike Tomlin clapping his hands saying, "Good job, Do it again!"

 

[Ostatehawk]

Yeah - they should be on the list.

 

[Scout]

A. Smith is going to be playing a lot of 12 personnel. So from that point of view it didn't make sense to extend Pickens long term but it would have been interesting see a duo of Metcalf and Pickens on the boundary.

The Steelers are always looking forward but I do have concerns that they are stuck in the mud by being a perpetual 8-10 win team. Not having a clear answer at QB kind of keeps them in that fate too.

For the Cowboys it appears they are going all in to take down the Eagles. Pickens and Lamb would be a hard duo to stop since they have Prescot throwing to them.

I'll just leave this here :

 

[Ostatehawk]

Yeah - what does the Pittsburgh WR room look like with Pickens gone?

• DK Metcalf
• Calvin Austin
• Robert Woods
• Ben Skowronek
• Roman Wilson
• Scotty Miller
• Ke'Shawn Williams
• Brandon Johnson
• Lance McCutcheon
• Roc Taylor

Not terribly impressive.

I think the way they approached WR this offseason is an example of terrible roster building.
