Overview
- On 105.3 The Fan, Jones said he may negotiate "probably both" with Pickens directly and through agent David Mulugheta.
- Pickens finished his first Dallas season with 1,420 receiving yards, 92 catches and nine touchdowns, earning a Pro Bowl nod.
- Mulugheta also represented Micah Parsons, whose contentious talks with Jones preceded a trade to Green Bay after owner-led discussions.
- Fans and media voiced concern over repeating past missteps, as Parsons escalated criticism of Jones on social media this week.
- Dallas faces a choice between a long-term extension or the franchise tag, projected near $28 million for one year, as negotiations loom.
