Cowboys at a Crossroads: Keep George Pickens or Fix the Real Problem?

Cowboys at a Crossroads: Keep George Pickens or Fix the Real Problem?

After a crushing 24–44 loss to the Denver Broncos, the question in Dallas isn’t just “Can the Cowboys still make the playoffs?” — it’s “What kind of team are they trying to build to get there?”
With an explosive offense but a defense falling apart, this team is facing a hard truth — and an even harder decision.


Pickens: Rising Star or Trade Asset?

George Pickens has been everything the Cowboys hoped for — and more.

  • 36 receptions, 607 yards, 6 touchdowns so far this season.

  • A perfect complement to CeeDee Lamb.

  • A big-play threat every time he touches the ball.

  • But here’s the problem: the Cowboys are now 3–4–1, and their defense is giving up a brutal 29.4 points per game. No team survives a playoff push like that — no matter how good the offense looks.

    A Top-Tier Offense Isn’t the Issue — It’s the Balance

    Dallas is averaging 31.7 points per game, which is elite.
    But the NFL isn’t just about scoring — it’s about stopping the other team from scoring too. And right now, the Cowboys’ defense looks overwhelmed, outmatched, and burned week after week.


    So… Do You Trade Pickens? Here’s the Dilemma.

    Pickens’ value has never been higher. If the Cowboys want real defensive help or future draft capital, this is the moment. His next contract is projected to be around $29 million per year — a massive investment.

    That leaves two bold options:

    ✔ Keep Pickens: Stick with an explosive offensive identity, hope the defense improves enough to survive.
    ✔ Trade Pickens: Gain picks or defensive stars, build a more balanced, playoff-ready roster — but sacrifice some firepower.


    This Isn’t About Quitting the Season

    It’s not surrender. It’s strategy.
    If the Cowboys want to compete for a Super Bowl — not just rack up points — they need balance. They need stops. They need a defense that can win games when the offense can’t.

    Sometimes, building a contender means making the tough decision before it’s too late.

    Cam Jordan Explodes After Jason Licht’s Harsh Postgame Comments: “Don’t Ever Question My Legacy!”
    New Orleans, LA —The Saints might have fallen 24–17 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the real fireworks came after the game — when Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht took a verbal shot at Cam Jordan, and the Saints’ defensive captain didn’t hold back in his response. 💥 Jason Licht Takes Aim Following the victory, Licht criticized both Jordan’s performance and his pregame remarks about Tampa Bay’s offensive line. “When you’re in the game, you have to back up what you say,” Licht told reporters. “Cam talked a lot before the game, but the numbers don’t lie — he didn’t have the impact he claimed he would.” Licht’s comments, dripping with sarcasm, quickly spread across social media — setting off a storm that Jordan wasn’t about to ignore. 🔥 Cam Jordan Fires Back A few hours later, Jordan responded in classic Cam Jordan fashion: confident, unapologetic, and fiery. “I’ve earned the right to speak,” Jordan said. “I’ve been dominating this league for over a decade. If you’re judging me off one game, you clearly don’t understand what I bring every Sunday — leadership, energy, and accountability.” Jordan doubled down when pressed about his lack of sacks against quarterback Baker Mayfield. “I didn’t record a sack — big deal. I was still in his face all night. Pressure is what collapses an offense, not just stats on a sheet,” he said. “They got the win, but I didn’t stop fighting. Jason can keep his comments — I’ll keep my respect.” ⚔️ Rivalry Reignited The tension between the Saints and Bucs — already one of the NFC South’s fiercest rivalries — just got even hotter. This marks the third straight loss for New Orleans against Tampa Bay, and it’s clear that frustration is starting to boil over. Fans immediately took sides online. Saints fans praised Jordan’s passion: “You don’t come for Cam unless you’re ready for war.” Bucs fans backed Licht, saying, “If you talk big, you better show big.” And neutral fans simply enjoyed the drama, calling it “the NFC South soap opera we didn’t know we needed.” 🗣️ Jordan’s Final Word Before ending his postgame availability, Jordan left one final message — direct, emotional, and personal. “You can question my numbers, you can question my game. But don’t ever question my legacy,” he said. “I’ve bled for this team, for this city. You can’t measure leadership with stats — you measure it by how you show up after every hit, every loss, every doubt.” As the Saints prepare to regroup, one thing’s for sure: this feud isn’t over. When New Orleans meets Tampa Bay again later this season, expect the sparks — and maybe the trash talk — to fly once more.
