Prescott Keeps Cool on Pickens Contract Drama

0:00On April 18, Dak Prescott kept it cool on the contract drama, with wide receiver George Pickens during a recent gala event. The two have been grinding in off-season workouts together, but Pickens is pushing hard for a long-term deal that looks farther away every day. Prescott said they're just putting in the work like always, hyped about Pickens showing up strong for the first time in his off-season routine. Earlier this week, Prescott dodged the big money talk, leaving it all to the front office. The Cowboys voluntary program hasn't kicked off yet, and Pickens would need to ink the franchise' tag worth $27,200. $98,000 for one year, or a participation deal to join in. That ain't happening right now. Fans and insiders see Pickens' best play as holding out, his main leverage to force a better offer. Prescott stayed neutral, focusing on the field vibes instead of the business side, which keeps the team energy positive amid the tension. With the deadline hitting July 15th, the Cowboys don't seem ready to lock Pickens beyond the 2026 season.
