Jerry Jones' Big Plan for George Pickens

0:00On March 31st, the Dallas Cowboys locked in wide receiver George Pickens with a franchise tag back in late February, making sure he sticks around. For at least next season after trading him over from the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 offseason, Jerry Jones, the team's owner and GM, told reporters this week he's got big ideas for the 25-year-old star, aiming to build around him for. Just to come, even if a full contract extension might not drop before the July 15th deadline, Pickens crushed it in his first year with Dallas, smashing personal best with 93 catches, 1,429 yards, and 9 touchdowns, turning heads and proving his worth on the field. Jones has no beef of Pickens' agent David Malaketta, but floated the idea that skipping the middleman could save both sides a ton of cash and fees. With the tag hold pass mid July, Pickens pockets $27,298,000, all guaranteed, setting the stage for, what could be a lasting partnership in Dallas?
