Jones added that they have not been told if Pickens will be at all mandatory portions of the offseason program. “Certainly, that’s what we expect," he said. "I mean, anytime a player signs a contract and the expectations, as we hold for all of our players, is when you sign up and you’re under contract then you’re expected to do what your teammates are doing."

It was reported recently that Pickens was going to sign the tag, but he has not done so as of early Monday afternoon. The 25-year-old enjoyed a career year across the board in his first season in Dallas in 2025, posting career highs in targets (137), receptions (93), yards (1,429), and touchdowns (9), among others. The Cowboys continue to state they want a long-term relationship with the star wideout.

As Schefter notes, Pickens can be traded at anytime once he signs the franchise tag. He will make $27.3 million this year if he plays out the one-year deal, but the trade speculation will continue.
