Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, surprise. Yeah. So today Jerry Jones did his
(00:21):
weekly interview over on the Fan, and there was a
couple of things. He said that at least I was
a little confused. He was asked about getting a deal
done right now with George Pickens. He said, quote, there's
no reason not to, and there's no reason to. I
can't give you a why not other than the timing
(00:41):
might not be good for any of the parties involved. Now,
that all makes sense to me so far. But then
he said, and that has many many reasons. You're asking
that question that I've had asked a million times in
my life by my mama and by my wife. Why
did you do it? Hell, I don't know why I
did it. I was just there. Yeah, he's I heard
(01:03):
that too, so confusing. He's just winging it. There's no
rhyme or reason. He's using his gut instinct at all times.
He said, we're considering every single aspect of George Pickens.
And I took that as meaning every single possible scenario
like extending George Pickens or trading George Pickens. And here's
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I think they'll they're starting discussions and they should be
and maybe George doesn't want to have those discussions, maybe
the Cowboys don't, but I think they should have those discussions.
And this is what I was talking about, the way
things swing with a win, Like if they had not
won that game, you'd be talking about trading George Pickens
or whoever. But you won the game, so now you're
(01:45):
talking about, man, we got to go trade for Max
Crosby or some guy that's gonna put us over the top.
But I really think with Pickens, if they start, if
they get it really depends on if they win games
or not. If they start losing games and the season's
cooked and you're not gonna be able to keep Pickings,
you should entertain trading him. If you could get him
to sign here, I'd be all for that too. And
(02:08):
so I think this could go any number of ways,
depending on if they are truly contenders this year.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I can't imagine that his agent wants him to sign
a deal unless it's to be a top three paid
receiver right now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Which would be somewhere between thirty five and forty, which
would be more than CD. I don't think there's any
way that happens now to be the highest paid number
two receiver, I think it would be somewhere between twenty
eight and thirty two. But he doesn't need to be
a number two.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
He could go be a number one.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, I mean I think from the agent standpoint, it's like, hey, man,
if they're hot and bothered, let's just play this thing.
But again, I also don't know what the receiver market
is going to look like. And it's hard to know
in the NFL because you never know which guys are
gonna get cut and then suddenly guy's back out on
the market.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But if this season's getting away from you and they're
gonna they're not gonna make the playoffs, and you can't
get a deal done with him till the offseas, and
you're not optimistic that you can't even get a deal
done for him unless you got to pay him what
you pay CD. Would you take a first round pick
for him?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I mean I take a first one.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, I guess it depends on what team too. I
mean that's actually a good trade because that means you
traded a third and a fifth for a first round call.
I got Yeah, yeah, you kind of got it. You
kind of got to do.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
That, and that team would have to be in that
Cowboys position where when they gave a first for Marii Cooper,
that's our kind of president to go back on.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
But if I have, if I have three first round
picks in this draft and a second round pick, I
think yeah, in fact, anybody could offer a first round
pick for him today, and I think I just make
that deal regardless.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's just, uh. I don't like when Jerry does the
thing of hell, I don't know why I did it.
I'm like, well, that dude, it's not cute being unaccountable
for your actions to just say you were there, I
don't know why it happened. I don't know. He's at
the end. There's just so many things in his life
you can go.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So you're just gonna shrug and say that you.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Don't know why this happened, even though you've made some
bad decisions, some really awful stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I don't think there's I don't think there's an eighty
year old alive that's accountable for anything. I mean, they're
at the point in their life where they don't have
to be. They just gotta go whatever. Man, Yeah, I'm
eighty something. Get off my nuts.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Bob Stern had a tweet today and I wanted to
show this to you guys. I don't know if you
saw this stat kind of crazy. So over the last
so Stabach, Aikman, Danny White, Romo, fifteen times in Cowboys
history the Cowboys have had a game with forty points,
(04:37):
no turnovers, and four hundred yards of offense. Okay, it's
happened fifteen times in history. Romo had one of those games,
Danny White had won, Aikman had one, Stalbach had one,
Don Meredith had two, Dak Prescott has nine of those. Wow, damn,
that's a lot. Now. I know the NFL has changed,
it's a little more high scoring than it used to be,
(04:58):
so part of that does go to that. But nine,
that's a credit stet blew my nuts off. I thought
that was crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
He is he is. I mean, and dude, we know
that we were hearing this that the Cowboys weren't quite
sure if they should sign him to that contract. And
I'm sure there's so many cooks in the kitchen. Some
people said, yes, do it, some people said maybe we
shouldn't do it. But he's looking worth every like he's
worth every penny, like, if he was up for a
new contract right now, he would be the highest paid
(05:27):
quarterback in the league. Like, you know, I mean he's
you could I couldn't imagine playing any better.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, he has double digit touchdowns with no interceptions over
the last month.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
If you wipe out last year because of injury, and
I'll make it even bigger, lame duck head coach in
a weird situation there, that would be just take out
twenty twenty four from dak tresume. That's a back to
back MVP type years. Yeah, so like that's what he
probably is and we're seeing that. And yes, he does
(05:57):
need the help around him, but you know, all these
guys like to have a little help around them.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
So I don't know, I still want to keep pickings.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I do too. I do too. I don't I think
you can. I just think it sucks that you not
get you don't get along very well with his agent
right now.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
All right, there you have it. There's cussing the Cowboys
coming up next in the weekly weekday update. Why did
KT discover a new toilet cam last night? We'll discuss
next
