"I love the situation for (George Pickens) with the Cowboys, but I would love to see him have his own team. I would love to see him be somewhere else, and be 1A, not having to be 1B to someone else. Not having to be the Robin to someone else's Batman. As great as he is, he's an immense talent. He's a true number one that can carry a team for himself, outside of Dallas,"
"Johnson's concerns extend beyond Pickens' role on the field. He points to Jones' history with major contract extensions involving Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, citing protracted negotiations that drained resources and created unnecessary tension. The dynamics surrounding Parsons' deal only reinforced his skepticism about how Dallas handles star players during their prime earning years. According to Johnson, Pickens stands to gain considerably more"
Contract negotiations in Dallas frequently proceed slowly under owner Jerry Jones. Jones' timeline and negotiation approach contributed to the Micah Parsons trade and created friction with agent David Mulugheta. Mulugheta also represents George Pickens, and his preference for direct negotiation clashes with Jones' reluctance to work through intermediaries. That impasse increases the likelihood that Pickens will test free agency after the season. Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson favors Pickens finding a team where he can be the clear No. 1 receiver. Past protracted deals with Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott amplify concern about Dallas' handling of star-player contracts.
