Cowboys | Jalen Tolbert moves down the depth chart Thu May 8, 12:45 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert is likely to be the player 'most impacted' by the acquisition of WR George Pickens, in the opinion of ESPN's Todd Archer, who notes that Tolbert split time between the WR2 and WR3 spots a season ago based on whether former Cowboys (and current New Orleans Saints) WR Brandin Cooks was available.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Tolbert is now expected to slide into the No. 3 role behind Pickens and WR CeeDee Lamb. In 17 games last year, Tolbert caught a career high 49 catches for 610 yards and seven touchdowns. That was good for the no.39 ranking in standard-scoring leagues at the wide receiver position. With the addition of Pickens, Tolbert goes more into 'what the heck' flex territory than he was a WR4/deep flex option in 2024. |

Cowboys | George Pickens not looking for deal yet Wed May 7, 01:05 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens is not looking to sign a contract extension at this point because he wants to show he can be a top receiver for a team, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Pickens enters the final year of his four-year rookie contract. He's due to make $3.526 million. Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio wrote: "It will be impossible for the Cowboys to justify paying Pickens without seeing him play, especially since they still haven't paid a dominant defensive player they have seen play for four years (in Micah Parsons)." Even if they decide to keep Pickens, it will be hard for him to get what he reportedly wants -- $30 million per year. Combined with the deal CeeDee Lamb signed last year (that pays an average of $34 million annually), that would be a lot of money to invest in the receiver position. Still, it's something the Cowboys and their new receiver can work out over time. |
Cowboys | George Pickens Traded to Dallas Wed May 7, 09:22 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens and a 2026 sixth-round pick were acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers Wednesday, May 7, in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys' search for a No. 2 wide receiver opposite Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb is over. Lamb will continue to dominate the targets in Dallas, but Pickens will get an upgrade with Dak Prescott at quarterback. Pickens should be viewed as a WR3 with upside in his new home. |
Cowboys | Report: Dallas, Amari Cooper Have Some Mutual Interest Tue May 6, 12:46 PM
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Dallas Cowboys "have not yet ramped up negotiations" with star edge-rusher Micah Parsons. "That doesn't mean they will not. They are budgeting for that," Fowler reported Sunday on SportsCenter. Fowler went on to say Dallas could use some of its available salary cap space to bolster the receiving corps, with the Cowboys and Amari Cooper having "some mutual interest" in a reunion.
| Footballguys view: Cooper is coming off a disappointing 2024 season. His 44 receptions, 547 yards, and four touchdown grabs were all career lows. With the team not taking a wideout in the 2025 NFL draft, the five-time Pro Bowler would at least provide some depth behind CeeDee Lamb. Remember, the Cowboys traded for Cooper in 2018, with a first-round pick going the other way. The former Raider remained in Dallas for another three seasons, topping 1,100 receiving yards on two occasions. With Lamb emerging as the team's WR1, Cooper was dealt to the Browns in March 2022 as part of a late-round pick swap agreement. In addition to Lamb, the Cowboys currently have Jalen Tolbert, Jonathan Mingo Parris Campbell, and returner KaVontae Turpin on their depth chart. |

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Friday, April 25, that he doesn't 'feel the need to reach' when asked about selecting a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Cowboys currently have Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, Deuce Vaughn and Malik Davis vying for backfield snaps.
| Footballguys view: Sitting at no.12 overall in the first round, some felt the Cowboys may go with Omarion Hampton (North Carolina). Instead, they build their offensive line with OG Tyler Booker (Alabama) in the first round. This is an incredibly deep draft at the running back position, so the Cowboys could find a really good player in the second or third round. |
