Cowboys' Offseason Kicks Off: Rookies, Pickens, and Summer Ball

On April 28, Dallas Cowboys offseason is kicking off right after the NFL draft wrapped up.

Voluntary workouts start this week at the Star, with organized team activities set for June 1st through 2nd.

June 4th, June 8th through 9th and June 11th.

Mandatory mini-camp hits June 16th through 18th.

Players like Dak Prescott are already showing up, setting the stage for Summer Ball.

Big question mark is why receiver George Pickens and whether he signs his franchise tag tender.

Reports say he plans to before the draft, but he still hasn't inked it and no trade happened.

If he joins these voluntary sessions, it signals he's locked in for the Cowboys this season and eyes other teams for next year.

The Cowboys crushed their draft class, maybe their best in almost a decade.

They grabbed safety, Caleb Downs, and Eddresher Malachai Lawrence in the first round,

plus Linebacker Jay Sean Barm in the third offensive tackle.

Drew Shelton and Cornerback Devon Moore in the fourth.

He buys on more.

He could be a steal if he shakes injury bugs.

Fans and insiders are buzzing about these rookies pushing for spots early, but there's fatigue over front office noise.

Jerry Jones and Crew started strong with trades and signings like running back Javante Williams,

yet Drama keeps bubbling up, pulling focus from the field.

As workouts ramp up, expect more signs on who's bought in and which new faces shine.

Summer's here, Cowboys Nation time to build toward that ring without the side shows.
