Trade him. He's getting concussions while wearing a guardian cap. His days in the league are numbered.

I'd rather have whatever production they get this season and the chance at a comp pick than the 6th or 7th rounder they could get for him now.

That's where I'm at. No Watson. 2 rookies that need to ramp up. Doubs in a contract year could be valuable. But yes, one concussion away of probably being done.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Re: ATL - Pickens to Dallas
Pure speculation, but perhaps the volatile Pickens did not react well to the addition of Metcalf?
Of course, if that's so, he may not like having Cedee Lamb ahead of him. But that's a potential problem for McCarthy to sort out

Brian Schottenheimer is such a bland Head Coach that people still think it's McCarthy lol

Re: ATL - Pickens to Dallas
Id trade him for a 4th ver quickly. I dont trust him to stay healthy with the concussion stuff, as unfortunate as it is.

Re: ATL - Pickens to Dallas
I think Packers fans underrate Doubs as a receiver. He has a knack for getting open and has been a big time security blanket for Love. But his concussion history is a serious concern, and if they can get a 4 for him, you'd have to consider pulling the trigger. A 5 is less appealing because they'd could get that as a comp pick if he leaves in FA.

Re: ATL - Pickens to Dallas
Random question. Does anyone know why Carolina picked ahead of New Orleans in the draft despite the Saints finishing last in the NFC South?

I know SOS is why Carolina finished ahead of New Orleans in the standings, and which is why we play the Panthers and not the Saints next year. Just wondering moreso why if the Saints finished last in the division why they had to pick after the Panthers who finished ahead of them

In a quirk, the Saints will draft after the Carolina Panthers, even though the Panthers finished ahead of the Saints in the NFC South standings. Both the Saints and Panthers finished 5-12, but strength of schedule serves as the draft order tie-breaker, and Carolina finished with a slightly worse strength of schedule.

Re: ATL - Pickens to Dallas
Bears have a young, talented QB. A heralded offensive "genius" as HC. An upgraded offensive line. A bevy of talented receiving targets. And now they've got the Pope.
If they can't win anything now, they might as well shut it all down.

Unless he's one of those weirdo state border fans that mix and match teams like being a Packers and Cubs fan. Then they don't get to have him.

Supposedly he is a South Sider, but a Cubs fan. Definitely shady.
