Key Points:
- Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has not attended the early voluntary offseason workouts or the first week of OTAs, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
- Schottenheimer emphasized that communication with Pickens has been good and that all early offseason work is voluntary at this stage.
- The team’s mandatory minicamp begins on June 16, and while Pickens’s attendance plans have not been discussed, Schottenheimer expects him to be present.
- Pickens has signed his franchise tag, meaning he will face fines if he misses the mandatory minicamp, and the Cowboys have no plans to negotiate a long-term deal or trade him before the July deadline.
- It appears Pickens will play the 2024 season under the franchise tag, with contract extension talks expected to resume after the 2026 season.
