Stephen Jones questions long-term future of Cowboys receiving duo

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones expressed uncertainty regarding the team’s ability to retain wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens beyond the upcoming season. While the team secured both players for the 2026 campaign, Jones noted the financial difficulty of paying two top-market salaries at the receiver position. Lamb is currently under contract through 2028, while Pickens is playing this year under the franchise tag. The organization has no current plans to offer Pickens a long-term extension. The front office expects high performance from both players as the team pursues its first championship since 1996.
