Pickens Future in Dallas Unclear | Dallas Cowboys News

Jerry Jones and his son Stephen are at odds over George Pickens’ future with the Cowboys, with Stephen calling it a “real difficult situation” to keep him past 2026, while Jerry insists Pickens could be around for “coming years.” Pickens had a breakout season, setting career highs, and is currently on the franchise tag worth $27.3M — far less than CeeDee Lamb’s massive new deal. Jerry previously said Pickens must “answer all those questions” before a long-term contract, hinting he could’ve gotten more if settled earlier. Meanwhile, Jerry confirmed the Cowboys still want to upgrade their defense, with $30M in cap space available — and they’re open to trades if the right move comes along. The current defensive players now face pressure to prove themselves before Jones spends another dime. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
