Episode notes
Cowboys Could Tag Then Trade Pickens To Rebalance
- The Cowboys may tag George Pickens then use that leverage to either re-sign or trade him to fund defensive upgrades.
- Gregg and Ian discuss Dallas being top-heavy and the possibility of tagging then trading Pickens as a roster-construction move.
Set The Market By Doing Deals Early
- Do deals early to set market value when you're confident in the fit; early deals influence the rest of the market.
- Ian praises Nicole Lynn's Javonte Williams-style early deal that anchored running back values and helped similar players.
Daniel Jones Deal Could Drive Receiver Tags
- Daniel Jones's next contract decision ties into receiver tag decisions for the Colts and roster construction.
- Ian suggests a multi-year deal in the low $40M range is plausible and could affect Alec Pierce's status (tag vs. market).
