GS. BREAKING: Dallas Cowboys’ Shocking Pickens Decision Revealed After 7-TD Demolition
In a jaw-dropping 44-22 annihilation of the Washington Commanders, the Dallas Cowboys showcased an offensive masterclass that left fans and analysts buzzing. At the heart of this explosive performance were star receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, whose chemistry lit up the field. The dynamic duo combined for nine receptions, 192 yards, and a touchdown, proving Dallas’ passing game is a force to be reckoned with. But the real story emerged post-game when owner Jerry Jones dropped a bombshell regarding the future of wide receiver George Pickens.
Pickens Shines, Silencing Doubts
Acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick in exchange for Pickens and a 2027 sixth-rounder, the former second-rounder has quickly become a cornerstone of the Cowboys’ offense. In his final year of a rookie contract, Pickens has delivered 36 catches, 607 yards, and six touchdowns, stepping up massively when CeeDee Lamb was sidelined. His on-field heroics have erased any concerns about his fit in the locker room, with Jones praising his impact both on and off the field.
“He’s doing more than we could have expected,” Jones said last week. “He’s a real plus around his teammates and coaches. They think highly of him, and he’s not just performing on the field—he’s embodying the team concept. That’s huge.”
Some speculated that Pickens’ representation by David Mulugheta, the same agent as former Cowboy Micah Parsons, could complicate extension talks. Parsons’ contentious negotiations culminated in his trade to the Green Bay Packers, but Jones was quick to shut down any concerns about a repeat scenario.
“Don’t pay any attention to that at all,” Jones declared. “The agent had almost zero influence on the Parsons decision. I’d have been in the same place with Micah, dollars and cents, no matter who represented him.”
Jones’ comments signal that the Cowboys are focused on Pickens’ value, not external noise, as they weigh a potential extension.
The Cowboys’ offense, already the NFL’s best, looked unstoppable in Week 7, racking up 409 yards and scoring 40 points for the third time this season. With Pickens and Lamb leading the charge, Dallas’ passing game overwhelmed the Commanders’ defense. Jones acknowledged the need to plan financially for Pickens’ future, hinting at a lucrative extension.
“We knew if things went as planned, we’d need to have some room available to pay a second receiver at that level,” Jones said. “We’ll weigh that carefully.”
The Cowboys’ locker room is united in their support for Pickens. Quarterback Dak Prescott, while coy about his plans, vowed to lobby Jones privately for Pickens’ extension. “I’ll make sure to talk to him when the time’s right,” Prescott said with a grin.
CeeDee Lamb was even more direct, emphasizing the lack of ego in the receiver room and his desire for Pickens to stay in Dallas. “I hope he gets everything he deserves—here,” Lamb said. “We just want to keep doing what we do.”
Now sitting at 3-3-1, the Cowboys are riding a wave of momentum as they prepare to face the Denver Broncos in Week 8. With Pickens proving his worth and the offense firing on all cylinders, Dallas looks poised to make a serious run. The question now is whether Jones will lock in Pickens long-term, securing a key piece of the NFL’s most dangerous offense.
One thing is clear: after their seven-touchdown demolition of the Commanders, the Cowboys are sending a message to the league—and Pickens is a massive part of their plans.
