🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Dallas Cowboys Eye Major Contract Move — Star Receiver George Pickens Could Be Next Big Payday in Dallas 💫
The injury struggles that haunted the Dallas Cowboys last season have carried into 2025 — but amid adversity, a new hero has emerged.
When CeeDee Lamb went down early against the Chicago Bears, the Cowboys’ passing game seemed poised for a major setback. Instead, George Pickens stepped into the spotlight — and has since become one of the most explosive weapons in the NFL.
Through seven weeks, Pickens ranks fourth in the league in receiving yards (607) and is tied for second in touchdown catches (6) — sharing that mark with Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson. His instant chemistry with quarterback Dak Prescott has turned what could’ve been a rough stretch into a statement of strength for America’s Team.
Pickens’ rise isn’t just catching attention on the field — it’s shaking things up inside the Cowboys’ front office. According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the organization has already held internal discussions about a potential contract extension for their breakout receiver.
“The Cowboys have had internal discussions about a possible extension for receiver George Pickens, to the point where they’ve been examining the rosters and cap situations of teams like Cincinnati, Miami, and Philadelphia — all of whom are paying multiple high-end receivers,” Graziano reported.
In other words, Dallas isn’t just talking — they’re planning.
While Graziano noted that a deal during the season remains unlikely, the tone within the organization seems clear: the Cowboys recognize Pickens’ value and want him to be a long-term piece of their offensive core.
That’s huge news for fans — and perhaps a sigh of relief for Dak Prescott, who has found in Pickens a consistent, clutch target capable of changing games with a single catch.
The Cowboys’ offensive identity has been evolving all season. With Lamb sidelined and the run game still searching for rhythm, Pickens has been the sparkplug Dallas desperately needed. His size, athleticism, and relentless competitiveness have drawn comparisons to the franchise’s greats — names like Michael Irvin and Dez Bryant.
Cowboys Nation can feel it: this could be the start of something special.
Still, with great production comes big decisions. The Cowboys’ front office — led by owner Jerry Jones — has a history of drawn-out, dramatic negotiations with star players. But this time, there’s an urgency in the air. The Super Bowl window feels open, and Dallas can’t afford distractions.
If Pickens continues on his current pace, the price tag will only climb higher — potentially putting him among the top-paid receivers in football.
Yet for Pickens, it seems less about the money and more about belonging — about proving himself on the biggest stage, wearing the star on his helmet.
“Dallas believed in me — now I’m giving everything I’ve got back to this team,” Pickens said after last week’s win. “It’s not about the headlines or the contract. It’s about earning every yard, every touchdown, and every bit of respect.”
For the Cowboys, the message is simple: keep the stars at home.
The team’s hopes of finally returning to the Super Bowl may depend on securing players like Pickens — the ones who show up when the lights shine brightest.
If the Cowboys can pull off this extension before the offseason chaos begins, it won’t just be another business deal. It’ll be a statement — that Dallas is ready to invest in its future, one superstar at a time.
💫 “America’s Team” may be known for its legacy, but with George Pickens on board, that legacy looks ready to grow even brighter.
