Stephen Jones Says No Trade Calls for George Pickens as Draft Nears

A silent market on Pickens suggests Dallas holds the leverage entering draft week.

Overview

  • Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan that the team has received no inquiries about trading for George Pickens.
  • Pickens remains on a non-exclusive franchise tag for 2026 worth about $27.29 million and has not signed a long-term deal.
  • The non-exclusive tag allows other clubs to present an offer sheet, which Dallas can match or decline in exchange for two first-round picks.
  • With the NFL Draft next week viewed as the last practical window for a conventional trade, any move would first require Pickens to sign his tender.
  • Pickens posted an upbeat Instagram video saying “Year 5 gonna be another movie,” while coach Brian Schottenheimer says his attendance at voluntary workouts is uncertain and the extension deadline is July 15.
