Overview
- On 105.3 The Fan, Jones said he could speak with both Pickens and agent David Mulugheta about a new deal, adding, "Probably both," and that he expects to talk with Pickens.
- Pickens is set to reach free agency after a breakout 2025 season in Dallas that included a Pro Bowl selection and 1,420 receiving yards, third in the NFL.
- Mulugheta represented Micah Parsons during failed extension talks that preceded the Cowboys trading Parsons to the Packers in late August.
- Fans reacted critically on social media to Jones’ stance, warning the team not to repeat the Parsons negotiation approach.
- No extension has been announced for Pickens as Dallas heads into the offseason, with reporting noting options such as a long-term deal or the franchise tag.
