Jerry Jones unlikely to extend George Pickens' contract soon, says Cris Carter

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is not expected to pursue a long-term contract for receiver George Pickens, according to former NFL star Cris Carter. Pickens, currently on a $27 million franchise tag, has shown promise since joining from the Pittsburgh Steelers, recording 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns last season. Carter highlighted the Cowboys' salary cap constraints, noting that two high-value contracts already complicate any new deals. Dallas executive Stephen Jones confirmed that negotiations won't commence soon, as Pickens continues to showcase his abilities under the franchise tag. The outcome of his performance this season may influence any future contract discussions, but challenges remain due to the team's financial situation.
