Overview
- Jones dismissed the notion that agent David Mulugheta would complicate negotiations, saying the agent had almost zero influence on prior decisions with Micah Parsons.
- Pickens has 36 receptions for 607 yards and six touchdowns through seven games in his first season with Dallas.
- Pickens said he would be open to re-signing, telling The Athletic he "wouldn't mind" staying with the Cowboys beyond 2025.
- Dallas has signaled it would consider creating salary-cap space to retain a second high-end wideout, with CeeDee Lamb already on a reported $34 million-per-year deal.
- The Cowboys acquired Pickens from the Steelers in May after previous draft interest, and he is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season if no deal is reached.
