Prescott: Football First, Let Suits Handle Pickens Contract

0:00On April 18, Dak Prescott is tuning out the drama around George Pickens' contract talks with the Dallas Cowboys. The quarterback made it clear he's all about football, not the business side, even as Pickens pushes for a big extension after his breakout year. Pickens put up 93 catches, 1,429 yards, and nine touchdowns last season, earning all pro nods and boosting. His value to around $30 million a year, among the top wide receivers. Prescott praised Pickens for showing up strong and off-season workouts and building chemistry, but he left negotiations to the front office, keeping the locker room focused on prep for the upcoming season. The Cowboys slapped the franchise tag on Pickens for a one-year deal worth about $27 million. Buying time amid cap strains from there already stacked contracts. With a mid-July deadline looming, both sides have a tight window to lock in a long-term pact, but Prescott's approach sets the tone eyes on the field, letting the suits handle the rest.
