Overview

• Breakout receiver George Pickens has 32 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns through six games while playing out the final year of his rookie deal.
• Owner Jerry Jones said the team will "look carefully" at its finances regarding a possible Pickens extension and praised the wideout’s impact as a teammate.
• Jones signaled readiness to pursue defensive help, noting extra 2026 and 2027 first-round picks from the Micah Parsons trade and about $31 million in cap space.
• Dallas ranks last in yards allowed and near the bottom in points allowed, with Jones also expressing confidence in DC Matt Eberflus as injured defenders work toward returns.
• The Cowboys waived WR Jalen Cropper to create flexibility as CeeDee Lamb and Jonathan Mingo near returns, while league chatter has floated a franchise tag-and-trade for Pickens in 2026.
