Cowboys Keep Pickens, No Long-Term Deal

On April 24, Dallas Cowboys are keeping Wyversey for George Pickens on the roster, with no plans to trade him.

Their exec Stephen Jones made that clear this week, saying the team has no interest in moving him after picking him up from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Last offseason.

The Cowboys passed on offering Pickens a long-term deal right now, even though he just wrapped up the strongest year of his career with big numbers on.

Days. He said treating a player like that could backfire big time. Pickens is set to play next season under the franchise tag, earning more than $27 million, so he has plenty on the line to show he's.

Worth that extension down the road.

For now, the Cowboys are betting he steps up again, keeping their offense loaded while he fights for his future bag.
