That's where it's tricky, right?

Because I'm right there with you.

This is one of those dangerous zone type of situations.

But this team has also dealt away future draft capital to try to maximize what would have been a run towards a playoffs at the end of last season before Daniel Jones towards Achilles.

And what they were hoping was going to be an even stronger run in the playoffs in 2027.

And now you're going to have a lot in flux.

So let's say you are going to pay that amount of money.

And maybe you're going to bring in Kyler Murray and say, hey, we're going to rework this deal.

You're going to have to take a little bit less, but you're going to have a shot to start for us early.

And if you start and you stay healthy, who's to say the job can't be yours, right?

We're going to have another open conversation.

And Anthony Richardson, I guess we'll ship you off to Arizona and best of luck to you at your new landing spot, right?

I think that that might be one of those wonky scenarios that could play out just because of Daniel Jones's

injury situation right now dealing with his recovery from his Achilles injury and I think that if you're the Colts you probably want to walk into a situation even if you are bringing back Daniel Jones with better backup options than Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard because it should not have taken making a call to Phillip Rivers to be able to get yourself across the finish line in a season that started off as well as it did in 2025 Alright, Tyler Murray

So it's funny, I think that ultimately you have to tag him because you cannot pay top of market money for a guy like Pickens.

For as optimistic as I may be about like how transformative a season he had, and he 100% did.

I mean, frankly, was the best receiver in Dallas last year, in my opinion, one of the better receivers in the league last year.

I'm not going to be the one that's going to be holding the wrong end of this bill.

Later on down the line, if anything were to go sideways with George Friggin, I'm not going to risk the dead cap charge that might have to come.

We've got to deal this guy off of our roster mid-season as early as next year because things are just not working out.
