"The Cowboys claim they want to keep George Pickens around beyond the 2025 season, prompting them to franchise-tag him this offseason. However, reports claim that the negotiation process for a long-term extension is not going as well as they had hoped."
"There's a chance things could reach a standoff, and Jerry Jones could view trading Pickens as the more valuable option. We saw him do that with Micah Parsons, and before that, he held out as long as he could to get a deal done for CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott."
"The Cowboys' latest visits with rookie prospects indicate they are not 100% in on keeping Pickens, and that's an opportunity the Patriots can't afford to ignore."
"If they felt confident that a deal for Pickens was inevitable, there wouldn't be many reasons to even entertain meeting with wide receivers. That's why it might not be outlandish to believe this is a sign that things aren't on the right path."
The Cowboys are struggling to negotiate a long-term deal with George Pickens, who has been franchise-tagged. Reports suggest he may not attend offseason practices without an agreement. Jerry Jones might consider trading Pickens if negotiations stall, similar to past situations with other players. The Cowboys' recent meetings with rookie receivers indicate uncertainty about retaining Pickens, presenting a potential opportunity for the Patriots to pursue a trade. The situation remains fluid, and the cost of acquiring Pickens would be significant.
