I'd like to know how/why you keep regurgitating this $34 million number, when DK's cap hit is around 11 million this season and 31 million in 2026. Plus the Steelers can buy him out for 18 million in dead cap prior to 2027 if they want to.
Agree....at the end of the day he should still be here.
Maybe someone is, if the token discipline of Monday night means anything.
And here it is. Why commit to a player you feel isn’t a team player, disrupts team chemistry? Do you throw a boat load of money at him and risk an AB recurrence? With the track record of players under Mike Tomlin that were shipped out? The answer should be a resounding no.
None of those other guys went on to do sh!t anywhere else, that's why the uproar, but Pickens wouldn't be doing what he's doing if he were still here.
Let me simplify this for you.
I'm glad you're happy with DK's production.
You are arguing the 2nd most receiving yards in the league have hurt the cowboys chances in multiple games?
His average annual value is 32.99 million, I was wrong.
They were driving late against the Eagles in the first game of the year down 24-20. They were deep in Eagles territory and he took a dumb personal foul penalty and blew up that drive. As the Cowboys were getting something going against the Cardinals and he took another personal foul for taunting as they were getting going. He directly hurt his team in two games. It isn't all about putting up stats. That is one of the problems with too many of these wide receiver divas. And it has spread to fans as well the way it looks by your response. If they are putting up stats, it doesn't matter what else they do.
Would you rather have Pickens or Austin as our #2?
Neither? There were other options.
technically our #2 option in the Arthur Smith offense is supposed to be a TE. We traded for a TE that caught 88 passes last year in Miami, so our #1 WR we traded for and our TE we traded for are having bad years, shocker, it can't be the system can it?
What i want is a team that has more likeable guys on it, whatever positions that is. No, I don't want Pickens on the team. I could care less about his numbers. I'd remember the 70s teams, the 90s teams and the 2000s teams. They had likeable players all over the roster you could root for. When was the last time anyone felt that about a Steeler team?
The question though was...who would you rather have between them? Pickens? Austin?
I'll take Austin. See above. It's not that I dislike Pickens. I am indifferent toward most of the guys on the team, but it would be nice to have guys you really like and root for.
Don't gloss over the fact that DK played in 2 less games and was short of 1000 by only 8yrds. Also Smith was QB last year vs Darnold this year
Yes, I'm sure that sitting him out for one series sure taught George a grand lesson.
Yes, it was AB's fault that the Steelers lost 45-42 to Jacksonville in the first round of the 2018 playoffs. Those 7 catches for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns just weren't enough. Great point.
Hence the word token. But you said nobody gives a shiit. Maybe a little shiit, anyway.
The Steelers are not going to take a $41.5 million cap hit in 2029 when DK is 32 years old. It'll never average out to that, because they'll cut or trade him before then. Even they aren't that stupid.
It sure is. And some players on the team are better than others.
