Jerry Jones Confident in George Pickens, Despite Tag Drama

0:00On March 31, nearly a month back, the Dallas Cowboys slapped the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, and owner Jerry Jones is still cool, with him bawling out in 2026 under that deal. Sources around the team say it's the smartest move for both sides right now, with a deadline of July 15 to hammer out a long-term contract. The Cowboys aren't shopping Pickens anywhere. They just want a bigger look at his game day stats and all-field vibe before dropping top shelf cash in a market-topping 40 million bucks a year. Team insiders expect Pickens might skip off-season workouts, or even training camp without a multi-year packed. But Jones isn't sweating it. Jones pulls confidence from Pickens grinding with Dak Prescott this off-season, calling tag drama just part of the business as they figure this out.
