Pickens' Future Hangs in Balance | Dallas Cowboys News

The Dallas Cowboys’ explosive offense, powered by Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens, racked up 471 points last season—ranking seventh in the league.

Front office exec Stephen Jones admits it’s nearly impossible to keep both elite receivers paid at market value long-term.
