Jerry Jones Eager to Negotiate Deal with George Pickens
The Dallas Cowboys are keen on securing a long-term agreement with wide receiver George Pickens following an impressive season. After trading for Pickens in the 2025 offseason, he shone during his one-year contract, achieving notable accolades.
George Pickens’ Outstanding Performance
In the 2025 season, Pickens recorded a remarkable 1,429 receiving yards along with nine touchdowns. His exceptional performance earned him second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors, significantly raising his value within the team.
Contract Negotiations and Future Plans
As his contract year progresses, Pickens expressed his desire to remain with the Cowboys but emphasized that his price tag has increased. To address this, the Cowboys are likely to utilize the franchise tag on him. This move will grant both parties additional time to negotiate a long-term deal.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been vocal about his intent to retain Pickens. “I’m talking to George all the time by virtue of my excitement for him,” Jones stated. He acknowledged Pickens’ significant contributions and potential impact on the team.
Past Challenges and Current Stability
Jones also reflected on previous contract negotiations, notably with linebacker Micah Parsons, which deteriorated before a trade. However, he highlighted that Pickens is in a stable position and appears committed to the team. “There’s nothing fragile about [Pickens] or his makeup,” Jones added. This commitment is evidenced by Pickens’ love for football and rapport with teammates.
Other Contract Considerations for the Cowboys
The Cowboys are not solely focused on Pickens. The team is also looking to negotiate long-term contracts with several key players, including:
- Javonte Williams – Running Back
- Jadeveon Clowney – Edge Rusher
- Brandon Aubrey – Kicker
The upcoming offseason promises to be pivotal for the Cowboys as they look to secure their talented roster for the future while negotiating beneficial contracts with their standout players.
