Steelers Send George Pickens to Cowboys

[Mike FF Today 721]

Trade Alert! Steelers get rid of one diva receiver...

I love this for the Cowboys. It's such a typical Jerrah move. Good luck with your new headache.

Cowboys are still the Cowboys.  Jerrah just wants theater.  Not serious about winning.

"Cowboys snag George Pickens from the Steelers"

I had high hopes for Pickens last year finally getting a decent Qb... but every Wr metric you can think of - he absolutely stunk. 

I guess he'll be better in Dallas, sure as hell can't do any worse. He's not on my fantasy radar. Ranked Wr 33.... yeah, no thanks.

Don't you have to do something before you can be a diva? Seems like they give these diva titles out way too frequently these days.

He's clashed with reporters,  clashed with his QB on the field (numerous) times, cries constantly that he's not getting the ball, and held out for a new contract refusing to be with the team. 

What more do you need to be a Diva?

Yes, get drafted by the Steelers.

agreed.  though typically Divas still produce.  this guy produced good numbers once.    Last year was ok.  if you pro rate based on games played he'd have been over 1000 yards.   but its not like hes a TD beast or anything.

hes a solid #2 WR with an attitude problem.

though if he pulls that crap with Jerry he may find Jerry will make an example of him.    lol.   be fun to watch that play out I'm sure.

George Pickens has had mental issues since day 1 in college.  He brought them to Pittsburgh and he'll bring them to Dallas. A couple ugly performances and Crazy George will rear his ugly head. 

[listen2me 23 1,831]

Pickens has skills.  Hes also a problem.  He or CD will be unhappy if they arent getting enough targets.  

Then they have to pay him next year.  Still dont have Parson signed.  Their D stinks.  And Dak is still your QB.  

It might be fun for a bit.  But in the end they will have 2 highly paid WRs that both think they are the alpha.  

Made total sense for Pitt to unload him.  They were a bit over him.  They arent winning anything this year.  Have no QB.  And werent going to give him a contract anyway.  So might as well get something for him.

They're gonna be able to stretch the field for sure.

CeeDee is a good deep threat, and IMO the best WR in the NFL after the catch.

Pickens is a 6'3 with deep speed

Kavontae Turpin is the fastest player in the NFL

They drafted an RB with a 40 time in the 4.3s in Jaydon Blue, perfect for screens and dump off passes.

Dak could be in for a big fantasy season

certainly possible.   but given Current production I think the team wont bend over backwards to make him happy at the cost of upsetting CeeDee.    CeeDee produces at a level that you are willing to put up with whatever issues he has.     That is not the case with Pickens.    if they had to choose between the two Pickens would be out on his Azz.

its a good opportunity for the guy.   and the Cowboys seem to be able to make Diva WRs work sometimes.   I also think its gonna be made very clear (if it hasnt been already) that he needs to know his place.   CeeDee is the #1 dog here.
