Opportunity died in 2018 during a global dust storm, and its final transmission was ordinary telemetry — numbers showing power loss and darkness — not a spoken sentence. A journalist later paraphrased the readings to convey what the data meant, and that paraphrase spread as if the rover had uttered it.

It also examines whether a smear campaign could be used to drive down Pickens’ value, but finds no evidence of one thus far. The bigger factor remains Dallas’s likely use of the franchise tag, around $28 million for 2026, signaling a commitment to keep Pickens regardless of whispers.
