Cowboys have plenty of questions as mandatory OTAs start June 1st " Inside The Star

Organized team activities are voluntary spring practices that include workouts, classroom sessions, and non-contact drills. OTAs are optional, but teams typically schedule a single three-day mandatory minicamp during this period, and veterans must attend. Attention centers on whether George Pickens reports to camp after signing his tender and with no plans for him to be traded. Reports indicate Pickens has been working out with Dak Prescott and has developed a close relationship with CeeDee Lamb. Another focus is how a newly built defense forms under Christian Parker, featuring many new players and a first full offseason for Quinnen Williams. Caleb Downs’ development is identified as a key factor.

"Organized team activities are voluntary spring practices where the NFL teams hold workouts, classroom sessions and non-contact drills. While OTAs themselves are strictly optional, teams usually schedule a single 3-day mandatory minicamp during this period, which Dallas has done, and all veterans must attend."

"Pickens signed his tender and there are no plans for the Dallas Cowboys to trade him, they have made that very clear. Now, it has been reported that he and Dak Prescott are working out, and we have seen that he and CeeDee Lamb have become really good friends by all the photos and trips that they took together during the offseason."

"Former #DallasCowboys WR Patrick Crayton on the advice he'd give George Pickens: I won't sit here and try and guess as to when he will enter camp or whatever else, but he is not getting traded, and he will be in the building at some point, and this offense will be just fine like they were a year ago if they can figure out part of the offensive line issues."

"The next thing I will be watching is how this defense shapes out. It is brand new, led by Christian Parker, and they have so many new bodies that should help. Dallas has six projected new starters as well as a first full offseason of Quinnen Williams on the roster. One of those new starters is safety Caleb Downs, the 11th pick of the draft, and his rapid development is one of the keys"
