Patriots Eyeing Pickens as Cowboys Stall

0:00On March 31st, Patriots are stacking their wide receiver room this off-season, even after locking in Romeo Doves on a 4-year 68 million dollar deal. They're still hunting for more firepower, with heavy links to Philly's AJJ. Brown, but George Pickens from the Cowboys, has emerged as a real target on their radar. Pickens exploded in 2025 with the Cowboys, hauling in 93 passes for 1,429 yards and 9. Touchdowns in his first year there. Dallas hit him with the franchise tag right away, banking on a long-term extension to keep him locked down. Trade chatter picked up after the Cowboys dealt Micah Parsons to Green Bay last season, leaving fans nervous about losing another star. That buzz has Patriots watchers excited, dreaming of what Pickens could do in New England alongside their young core. Jerry Jones, the owner and GM, just poured cold water on any deal, saying flat out there's no plan to move the all-pro receiver. Still, contract talks have stalled so far with Dallas.

1:02Patriots brass knows these things can shift fast if no ink hits paper, so they're staying dialed in, ready to make a play if Pickens hits the market. You've been listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage.
