Cowboys, Pickens Avoiding Parsons' Trade Drama

0:00On April 6th, Dallas Cowboys slapped the franchise tag on why receiver George Pickens a few weeks back, but they haven't started talks for a long-term deal yet. It's got that familiar vibe from last offseason when they couldn't agree with Star Pass Russia, Michael Parsons, who shares the same agent. Parsons ended up getting traded to Green Bay after things got messy, with no direct chats between the Cowboys and his rep. Fans watched that drama unfold, and now they're eyeing Pickens' situation with the same worry. Cowboys' nation is on edge, remembering how bad it got before. Media folks like those that Fox Sports are calling Pickens the top number two receiver in the league, especially when he stepped up as the main guy. During CDLAM's injuries, they say don't repeat that mistake and overcomplicate things with a key player. Steven Jones, the chief operating officer, has stayed quiet on contract questions at the owner's meetings and isn't throwing shade through the press, like last time. That's a good sign they're handling it differently so far.

1:00Both sides seem to dig each other, and with Pickens number three on the field, their offense looks super bull-ready. Fingers crossed this leads to a smooth extension that keeps the squad stacked.
