An old maxim says not to talk about someone else’s money, but in this case, George Pickens and Cowboys fans probably won’t mind. As Pickens the Pro Bowl MVP hits an offseason that will see him become a highly-sought-after free agent and have truckloads of money dangled in front of him, CeeDee Lamb- the current WR1 in Dallas- says he won’t care if Pickens makes more than him, so long as he remains his Cowboys teammate. But the lobbying from others has already started; Micah Parsons used the all-star event as an opportunity to make a sales pitch for Pickens to join him in Green Bay,
Parsons also had a revelation or two about how his own time in Dallas ended. The edge rusher now says he regrets the ill-fated meeting with owner Jerry Jones that led to his agent getting cut out of negotiations last offseason.
And on the eve of Hall of Fame announcements, what are the chances that Cowboys legends Jason Witten and Darren Woodson to get a gold jacket as part of the Class of 2026?
With Super Bowl LX inching closer, both the Seahawks and Patriots gain some clarity on injured playmakers they hope will be ready to go. Seattle seems to have uncovered a secret weapon in a talented defensive rookie… while New England’s ace in the hole is… a super-expensive juice machine that makes OJ with magical healing powers?!?
Around the league, the Eagles’ exodus continues as one of the game’s top position coaches suddenly says “peace out” in Philly, and Mike McCarthy reunites with one of his former Cowboys staffers by making him assistant head coach in Pittsburgh. Michael Penix Jr. isn’t backing down despite Atlanta’s newly-installed football guru Matt Ryan vaguesplaining the Falcons’ QB situation, and those rumors about the Chicago Bears moving across the state line to Indiana? It’s way more than just an idle threat.
