0:00
Would you take a late first round pick and a fourth round pick
0:06
If the Cowboys were struggling to get a long-term deal done for George Pickens
0:09
We do have a big trade the NFL Jalen Waddle is on the move from the Miami Dolphins and he has headed to the Denver Broncos
0:15
Broncos are gonna be good
0:17
I think that fits for them you put zoomi zoomi next to Cortland Sutton's big old self
0:23
Mm-hmm. I think that works for them, but what I want to get to is the compensation
0:28
So Denver's gonna get Jalen Waddle and the Dolphins fourth-round pick in the draft
0:35
Miami's gonna get Denver's first round pick
0:38
They're late three and they're late four
0:42
So essentially the 30th pick in the draft and a fourth rounder for Jalen Waddle
0:49
And I'm gonna localize this for you guys
0:57
Take a late first round pick and a fourth round pick if the Cowboys were struggling to get a long-term deal done
1:07
I stirred up so I stirred it up before I before I answered that, you know, I'm gonna pull it down
1:12
I'm gonna pull it clear. You don't want to answer before I answered that it didn't wait
1:15
I'm gonna take us back to a conversation that we had an
1:19
Indie we're gonna harken back
1:22
The conversation that we had at Tom's watch bar. Oh, we were only there seven times in four days and
1:28
we had a conversation with a very
1:32
prestigious figure we did and the in the NFL world at the button John
1:41
We had a we had a very
1:43
Because we're journalists. We found them without clearance around. We want to ask from us. We would be where was clearance at the time?
1:49
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you working? I'm corner's man. I'm right the wire
1:54
Then I'm working the car bar working the corn
1:57
um, and so we had that conversation and
2:01
What we took away from that conversation was the one thing that we I guess the people that were there could agree upon that
2:08
It was very clear that playing on the franchise tag was not something
2:12
Not looking forward to and don't do not a priority for them that they didn't they didn't and I'm not putting words in the man's
2:18
mouth. I'm just saying from what we got what we I gathered from that conversation
2:23
His client playing on the franchise tag was something that
2:26
Not planning to not plan to not hoping to not hoping to not plan into right
2:31
Either one of those not and not going to and then you start hearing the conversation
2:36
Then you start hearing you know the cowboys put this out there the the technical tag out there
2:42
So they can kind of go and see what the market is and we all talked about during our time in India and
2:50
This is probably the one agent that you don't want to give those type of offense to
2:57
Because if you're talking about a one in a three for a waddle and
3:03
The franchise tag in the way that it's
3:06
Constructed that George is under is supposed to be two number ones with the ability to
3:12
Negotiate one of those number one right or both or both you can take whatever you can do in different
3:17
Compensation and so I think as this thing goes on and I told you guys buckle up because that's what I was basically informed
3:26
After that conversation seat belted about how this how this process was going to go I
3:32
Think waddle now gives you kind of a
3:36
understanding of what a a
3:41
High-level receiver young receiver can go for
3:45
In the trademark is George Pickensworth more or less than Jalen waddle more to me right now
3:54
If they're talking about a one and maybe a three I
3:58
Think this is a conversation now that
4:01
Maybe some cowboy fans weren't thinking about because they were only thinking about two number ones
4:06
But now seeing this this now puts into the atmosphere
4:11
Oh, so there are teams willing to give up multiple picks for a wide receiver one of those picks being of a first round pick
4:19
Included in those multiple picks right that to me is is is
4:24
Interesting to say the least and before I said a question Jeff. I want to ask you are over to huh
4:29
Because he's now the question did he we're over to me over to what was the question?
4:33
Would you do the right would you do a late one and a four for George pickens?
4:37
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and before I asked the question
4:42
It's important to note that Waddle is under contract. Oh, he's already gotten his extension
4:47
So he's cost control. Yes, so pickens may be worth less because you would also have to turn around and pay or you got to pay
4:52
You know, it's we we are the son that Waddle is on the car. You've already got his extension
4:56
You know, and I think to your point is that I was saying with Alec Pierce thing
5:02
Pickens ain't trying to be picking don't look at himself as don't in on the level of Jalen Waddle
5:07
Look at himself in the level Pierce. I think that's Jalen Waddle disrespect honestly. It may be I'm just saying what pickens in his
5:14
Representative in the way the cowboy's been talking for the last season nobody would have said George pickens is worth
5:19
Tell my dad, okay, I mean it and I'm just saying the pickens look at himself in the vein of
5:26
Justin Jefferson and
5:30
He does not look at himself as a number to receive or the second option. He's looking at I'm gonna get first option money
5:36
Yeah, and that's we you know, that's why Pierce's money doesn't mean anything to pickens and I'm seeing and I'm sure this trade
5:44
Compensation of what else that that's not gonna make
5:47
Moologeta and pickens blinking I was also interesting to note
5:52
Pickens and CD put themselves out on
5:55
Social media yesterday writing around paling around and in a car together. I don't know if they need to be pals
6:02
Well, we got George and CD breaking curfew. I need I need I need CD
6:07
I'm out of line is anybody mad about the money CDs already said paying what you want you can pay more than me
6:12
That's my guy, and I think it's important that they have a good relationship. They have a close relationship this this
6:19
Contract situations not messing up their relationship and their ability to get along
