Cowboys' Pickens Drama Could Shake Up Draft
About this episode
The Dallas Cowboys decision to franchise tag wide receiver George Pickens for $27 million has stalled long-term contract talks. ESPNs Adam Schefter suggests this could impact the Cowboys draft strategy, with Pickens recent drama potentially influencing owner Jerry Jones reluctance to offer a big contract. Despite Jaxon Smith-Njigbas record-breaking deal, Jones remains firm. The Cowboys are reportedly interested in Arizona States Jordyn Tyson, but he may not last until their twelfth pick. Instead of trading up for top talent, Dallas may slide back in the draft order and consider trading Pickens for additional picks.

Dallas Cowboys News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Cowboys' Pickens Drama Could Shake Up Draft. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 22nd, the Dallas Cowboys slapped the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens for about $27 million in the 2000. 26 season, but talks for a long-term deal, ain't moving forward at all. ESPN insider Adam Schefter dropped word this week that this whole situation could shake up how the Cowboys play their draft picks at number 12. And number 20 overall. Pickens brought drama back in Pittsburgh from 2022 to 2024, and even this year in Dallas, which might explain why owner. Jerry Jones ain't budging on a big contract. Even after Seattle's Jackson Smith-Enjigba just reset the market with a four-year deal worth 100. $68,600,000. Now the Cowboys got their eyes on Arizona State's Jordan Tyson, but Schefter and other experts like Peter Schrager and Todd McShay figure he'll be. Snatched up before Pick 12. Instead of chasing Top 10 talent with a huge trade, Dallas seems set to slide back in the draft order, and Jones could flip Pickens later to grab.
More picks from a team hungry for the 25-year-old receiver.
