There are several trade proposals floating around, but this latest one sees the Cowboys give away a Pro Bowl receiver.
Some call this portion of the NFL offseason the "silly season," and it's easy to see why, as Dallas Cowboys receiver George Pickens has his name linked to several scenarios.
With the Cowboys planning to franchise tag George, as our own Mike Fisher has reported since November, there is a realistic chance that Pickens plays on the tag in 2026.
Of course, signing a long-term deal would be beneficial for Dallas' cap situation because it lowers his 2026 cap number, freeing up more funds to acquire players for Christian Parker's defense.
But there are still some people who wouldn't mind seeing Pickens traded and the Cowboys getting something decent in return.
The big one is Maxx Crosby becoming a Cowboy and Pickens, along with a first-round pick, going to the Las Vegas Raiders.
But then there are trade proposals that, if Dallas actually agreed to, would send not only its people inside the building into meltdown, but also the fan base.
Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox has put together a list of trades he'd like to see this offseason, and when it comes to Pickens, Knox has George going to the Tennessee Titans, but Dallas only getting a second-round pick in return.
"This hypothetical deal would also likely increase the chance that Dallas uses one of its two first-round picks on a wide receiver, while potentially increasing the demand for other veterans such as Brown, Pierce, Evans, and Wan'Dale Robinson," Knox wrote.
One could only imagine the blowback if the Cowboys got "only" a second-round pick back for Pickens. ... a rumor that started with an NFL.com mention that we still don't understand.
As Fisher has noted: "How can a 24-year-old All-Pro be BOTH 'worth $30 million per year' AND only be 'worth a second-round pick?''
After his 1,429-yard, 9-TD season that ended with his first-ever Pro Bowl, you can argue his value hasn't been higher.
From a Titans' perspective, getting a player like Pickens for Cam Ward would be a fascinating watch, but there isn't a way, I think, that Dallas gives up Pickens for only a second-round pick in return.
Fish has stated that some inside the building would have an aneurysm if George were traded, and we understand that. He's a top-tier talent who helped the Cowboys' offense become elite in Brian Schottenheimer's first year.
And to trade him away for as little as a second-round pick?
Thanks, but no thanks.
