Jerry Jones incerto sobre negociar extensão de Pickens via agente

O proprietário do Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, expressou incerteza sobre se negociará a extensão do contrato do wide receiver George Pickens por meio de seu agente, David Mulugheta. Isso vem após uma abordagem similar durante as negociações fracassadas com Micah Parsons, que o time trocou para Green Bay. Pickens tem sido um performer chave para os Cowboys em 2025.

Os Dallas Cowboys fizeram movimentos significativos em 2025, incluindo a troca do edge rusher All-Pro Micah Parsons para o Green Bay Packers logo antes do início da temporada, após negociações fracassadas de extensão. Parsons era representado pelo agente David Mulugheta, e Jones tentou contorná-lo durante essas conversas.

Agora, a atenção se volta para outra aquisição de 2025: o wide receiver George Pickens, também representado por Mulugheta. Pickens entregou uma temporada de destaque, registrando 1.420 jardas recebidas e nove touchdowns em 16 jogos. Ele complementou efetivamente o estrela wideout CeeDee Lamb, com ambos os jogadores superando 1.000 jardas em 2025, tornando-os vitais para o ataque do quarterback Dak Prescott.

Durante sua aparição semanal no rádio 105.3 The Fan, Jones abordou a situação de forma ambígua. "Não sei. Vamos ver como vai", disse ele, via o site oficial do time. "Provavelmente ambos, mas certamente espero falar com George."

Pickens, conhecido por seu alto potencial e drama ocasional, mostrou maior foco este ano, tornando-se um alvo primário para Prescott ao lado de Lamb. O ataque dos Cowboys tem se apoiado pesadamente nesse duo, transformando o time em uma unidade ofensiva agressiva. A troca de Parsons destacou a disposição de Jones em se desfazer de estrelas em meio a disputas contratuais, mas alienar Pickens poderia perturbar o corpo de recebedores.

Diferente de Parsons, um arquétipo perene dos Cowboys, Pickens traz talento volúvel que Jones deve reter para evitar riscos na free agency. A experiência com Parsons pode influenciar Jones a ajustar seu processo, embora outro offseason contencioso permaneça possível para Dallas.

The Dallas Cowboys are actively exploring trades to move into the top 10 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft to bolster their defense. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers remain in limbo over quarterback Aaron Rodgers' decision on returning, potentially influencing their draft strategy. The New York Giants have fielded inquiries but plan to hold their No. 5 pick.

The Dallas Cowboys have paused negotiations for a long-term contract extension with wide receiver George Pickens, who was franchise-tagged in February and will play the 2026 season for a fully guaranteed $27.3 million. Executive Stephen Jones announced the decision during a pre-draft press conference in Frisco, Texas, on April 22, following Pickens' breakout 2025 season after his trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Wide receiver George Pickens signed his $27.3 million fully guaranteed franchise tag with the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, April 23, 2026, after the team halted long-term contract negotiations as announced by EVP Stephen Jones the day prior. This follows Pickens' 1,429-yard 2025 season (third in NFL) and makes him trade-eligible ahead of the NFL Draft, with teams like the Titans, Chargers, Dolphins, Ravens, and Commanders linked as potential fits.

Milwaukee Bucks co-owners Wes Edens and Jimmy Haslam stated that Giannis Antetokounmpo will either sign an extension or be traded this offseason. They emphasized that letting the 31-year-old star play out the final year of his contract is not an option for the organization. The comments came in an interview with ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed an unrestricted free agent tender on 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers on April 28, 2026—shortly after the NFL's April 27 deadline—a seldom-used move (six times league-wide in the past decade) to secure a potential 2027 compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere. Owner Art Rooney II and head coach Mike McCarthy downplayed its impact on ongoing re-signing talks, expecting a deal soon despite Rodgers' indecision and speculation about other teams.

The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up the first week of the 2026 NFL free agency period with several roster moves, including trades and signings to bolster their offense and defense. They acquired wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and signed cornerback Jamel Dean, while losing speedster Calvin Austin III to the New York Giants. The team also received a salary cap credit of over $3.65 million for 2026.
