Pickens & Valdes-Scantling: Cowboys' Offense Boost

On April 27th, the Dallas Cowboys wrapped up the 2025 season with a 7-9-1 record, missing the playoffs.

But George, Pickens shown in his first year there as Dak Prescott's go-to guy,

hauling in 93 catches for 1,429 yards, and 9 touchdowns, both team highs.

Pickens' rookie deal expired, so the Cowboys slapped the non-exclusive franchise tag on him before free agency,

though he hasn't inked it yet.

During the 2026 draft, owner Jerry Jones made it clear they have zero plans to trade him.

Meanwhile, the team added depth at receiver by signing veteran Marquez Valdez

Scantling to a one-year deal while they wait on Pickens. Fans are buzzing about the move,

seeing it as smart insurance for Prescott's arsenal.

Valdez Scantling brings 8 years of experience, drafted in the fifth round by Green Bay back in 2018,

where he balled with Aaron. Rodgers before jumping to Kansas City for two Super Bowl rings

with Patrick Mahomes. Over 116 games, he's got 219 catches for 3,686 yards and 21 scores.

Plus, solid playoff numbers. This duo could elevate Dallas's offense if Pickens signed soon and they

Joe Wright.
