George Pickens Puts Agent in Lead as Jerry Jones Signals Direct Involvement

Overview

  • Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan he expects to speak with Pickens and indicated he might engage both the receiver and his agent.
  • Sports Illustrated has reported Jones plans a face-to-face meeting with Pickens, a method that mirrored his approach with Micah Parsons.
  • Dak Prescott advised Pickens to keep the process “business” and not personal, drawing on his own contentious negotiations before landing major extensions.
