"Jones' relationship with agent David Mulugheta - or lack thereof when it came to negotiating a Parsons extension - became a major talking point through to the trade sending Parsons to Green Bay. Once that blockbuster deal had been worked out, attention quickly turned to the fact Mulugheta also represents wideout George Pickens. The former Steeler has enjoyed a stellar debut season in Dallas, setting him up for a notable payday."
"Pickens looms as a strong candidate to receive the franchise tag. Applying the tag would ensure he cannot reach the open market but it would also no doubt pave the way for negotiations on a long-term pact. Mulugheta figures to play a role on that front, but the possibility exists for another round of direct owner-player talks as well. Jones confirmed as much during his latest appearance on 105.3 The Fan."
Micah Parsons' offseason conflict with the Cowboys began after in-person talks between Parsons and owner Jerry Jones and culminated in a trade to Green Bay. Jones' contentious dynamic with agent David Mulugheta affected extension negotiations. Mulugheta also represents George Pickens, who had a standout debut season in Dallas and is positioned for a significant contract. Pickens is a likely candidate for the franchise tag, which would prevent him from reaching free agency while prompting long-term deal talks. Jones signaled willingness to engage directly with Pickens in addition to involving Mulugheta. Pickens ranks third in receiving yards and faces a substantial salary decision.
