George Pickens puts the ball in Jerry Jones’ court regarding contract extension
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has made his position clear when it comes to a potential contract extension with the franchise. Recently traded to the Cowboys this offseason, Pickens is enjoying a breakout season, boasting impressive stats that include 685 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 43 receptions over the first eight games. His performance puts him on track for career-high numbers, which could lead to significant financial opportunities once his current deal concludes at the end of the season.
Career year sparks extension talks
Pickens has expressed satisfaction with his time in Dallas, where the organization has recognized his contributions with praise. However, he noted that discussions about a contract extension have yet to materialize.
When questioned about his interest in securing a new deal, Pickens conveyed that the initiative lies with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. “That’s kinda up to what he wants to do. All I can do is perform at my best,” Pickens stated, emphasizing his focus on delivering top-notch performances on the field.
Future uncertain as season progresses
As he continues to shine in Dallas, the question of whether Pickens will remain with the Cowboys long-term looms large. Despite his desire to stay, he remains aware that the decision ultimately rests with Jones and the team’s management.
The Cowboys face an intriguing situation as they weigh their options moving forward. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, speculation has arisen about the possibility of trading Pickens. However, for now, he remains committed to the Cowboys and dedicated to making the most out of the current season.
As the weeks progress, all eyes will be on both Pickens’ continued performance and the Cowboys’ decision-making, as the future of this promising wide receiver hangs in the balance.
