Cowboys' Jones: No Teams Want Pickens

0:00On April 14, Dallas Cowboys exec Stephen Jones stirred the pot this week on 105.3, the fan. He flat out said, no teams have called about George Pickens, the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver. The question was straight up, any first round pick offers on the table for him? Jones didn't dodge, he shut it down hard. This comes amid rumors that Cowboys might chase Pickens in a trade. His response feels calculated, by key signaling to the Steelers that nobody else wants in. It's classic media maneuvering to drop the asking price, and the Cowboys have played that game before. Fans and insiders of buzzing, calling an awkward gamesmanship. Some say Jones could have just said no comment instead of naming Pickens specifically. Negotiations like this, risk-turning personal, remember how Micah Parsons deal Guy heated last year. NFL Networks, Micah Ruffalo and others are sidelining the claim, wondering if it's really zero interest league-wide. Pickens is a young talent coming off of solid season, so the silence seems off to skeptics.
