The latest on George Pickens\u2019 future<\/p>\n
Arguably the biggest upcoming unrestricted free agent the Cowboys have on their roster is WR George Pickens, who had a career-best year with 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. Jones hasn\u2019t dived into specifics with the negotiations, and didn\u2019t again Wednesday, but reiterated the goal is to keep Pickens with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won\u2019t get into any details right now,\u201d Jones said. \u201cCertainly, we want George to be back here in Dallas, and we\u2019ll certainly go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones mentioned that in the past, the NFL\u2019s scouting combine in Indianapolis has been a good place in the past for those conversations between teams, players and their representation to occur on contract extensions. This year\u2019s combine takes place from February 23 to March 2.<\/p>\n
Nick Sorensen to be retained as special teams coordinator<\/p>\n
With plenty of staff turnover in the last week for the Cowboys, one area where there won\u2019t be any is on special teams, as Jones announced special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen will be retained for a second season in 2026.<\/p>\n
Still, Jones made clear that the team is looking to see lots of improvement in the third phase of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe certainly want to be better there,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got some good pieces with our returner, our punter, our kicker and our snapper. But usually when you get some good defensive players, those turn into pretty good special teams players too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cowboys have visited with Javonte Williams\u2019 representation<\/p>\n
While Jones wasn\u2019t as open about the team\u2019s contract talks with George Pickens, he discussed a bit more regarding RB Javonte Williams, who rushed for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve certainly visited with Javonte\u2026\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe\u2019re always visiting with representative about our players.\u201d<\/p>\n
Things continue to trend towards Williams likely returning to the Cowboys in 2026, and possibly beyond. At the team\u2019s year-end press conference earlier in the month, Jones said Williams \u201cis at the top of our list to go out and sign\u201d and the team would like to get him signed to a multi-year deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The latest on George Pickens\u2019 future Arguably the biggest upcoming unrestricted free agent the Cowboys have on their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":141168,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,932,104,103],"class_list":{"0":"post-141167","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-cowboys-news","10":"tag-dallas-headlines","11":"tag-dallas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
