Overview
- On 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, Jones said he will "probably" negotiate both with Pickens directly and with agent David Mulugheta.
- Pickens is coming off a breakout year in Dallas with 92 receptions, 1,420 yards and nine touchdowns, earning his first Pro Bowl nod.
- The 24-year-old is poised for free agency after the 2025 season unless the Cowboys apply the franchise tag or reach a long-term deal.
- Jones and Mulugheta previously clashed during the stalled Micah Parsons negotiations that ended with Parsons being traded to Green Bay.
- Cowboys fans voiced unease online after Jones’ comments, worried the team could repeat mistakes from the Parsons dispute.
