Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has shown since CeeDee Lamb went down with an injury that he is capable of being featured as the No. 1 option in a potent offense, and the outstanding stretch of play has come at a perfect time for him.
Pickens, who was drafted in the second round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022, is in the final season of his rookie contract. He was asked on Wednesday if he would be open to signing a long-term extension with the Cowboys, and he said he has enjoyed his time with the team thus far.
“I wouldn’t mind it. The guys in the locker room are super cool, the energy is great,” Pickens said, via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “I always want to showcase my talents.”
But if the Cowboys don’t turn things around amid what has been another disappointing season, Pickens might prefer to play elsewhere.
George Pickens wants to win
Pickens was also asked on Wednesday what it is that he will prioritize with his NFL future. He said winning is most important to him.
“Definitely winning. Just because that’s been my resume the whole time,” Pickens said. “I won in high school, I won at Georgia. Definitely winning, I always think about winning.”
