""I wouldn't mind [staying in Dallas]," Pickens said Wednesday, via Tommy Yarrish of the team website. "The guys in the locker room are super cool; the energy's great. But like I said, I always want to showcase my talents.""
""We'll weigh that," Jones said Tuesday when asked about extending Pickens. "We knew full well that if things really went like we want them to go, that certainly we need to think about having some room available if we're going to pay a second receiver at that level.""
""Yeah, if he's breathing, I'd feel pretty good," Schottenheimer said."
Pickens is flourishing with the Cowboys but is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March and his market has risen above $30 million per season. The franchise tag is projected at $23.958 million for 2026, and Pickens likely would not want to play under the tag. Owner Jerry Jones indicated contract talks may wait until after the season and stressed the need to consider roster room if paying a second receiver at that level. CeeDee Lamb practiced at limited status after a sprained ankle and could return, and KaVontae Turpin is on target to play after a sprained foot.
