Overview
- Jones told 105.3 The Fan the team will evaluate the financial implications before deciding on a path for the wide receiver.
- Pickens has 32 catches for 525 yards and six touchdowns, including nine receptions for 168 yards and a score in Sunday’s loss to the Panthers.
- Dallas inherited the final season of his rookie contract at about $3.656 million, and no extension has been reached.
- Options outlined by reporting include an in-season trade before the Nov. 4 deadline, a long-term extension, a 2026 franchise tag, or letting him reach free agency.
- Analysts project a market near $30 million per year for Pickens and note the 2026 tag for receivers is expected to exceed $25 million, complicating decisions alongside CeeDee Lamb’s $34 million-per-year deal.
