Cowboys Open To George Pickens Extension?

"Jones praised Pickens as an "exemplary teammate" and again referred to the Micah Parsons trade as an opportunity to sign multiple players for the price of one. Pickens was traded to the Cowboys in May and initially said that he was planning to play out the final year of his contract. That may still be the case, but he indicated in August that he was open to an extended stay in Dallas."

"The 24-year-old wideout got off to a good, but not great start in Dallas with 13 catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns in his first three games. But after CeeDee Lamb went down with a high ankle sprain, Pickens exploded for an 8-134-2 stat line in his first full game as the Cowboys' WR1. He is now on pace for career-highs across the board, though Lamb's eventual return will eat into his target share."

"Pickens could be in line for a massive contract if he finishes with another 1,000-yard season, especially if he reaches 4,000 career receiving yards by the end of his fourth season. Fellow 2022 draftee Jameson Williams signed a three-year, $80MM extension earlier this year, though that value is inflated by per-game roster bonuses, workout bonuses, and a non-guaranteed option bonus due in the final year of the deal."

Jerry Jones indicated Dallas is open to signing wide receiver George Pickens to a contract extension and praised Pickens as an exemplary teammate. The Cowboys acquired Pickens in May via trade and initially expected him to play out his final contract year, though Pickens later expressed openness to an extended stay and greater comfort in Dallas compared with Pittsburgh. Pickens produced 13 catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns in his first three games, then posted an 8-134-2 performance as WR1 after CeeDee Lamb's injury. Continued production could earn Pickens a lucrative extension, especially with potential 1,000-yard seasons.
