10:30 a.m. — Now over a month after the Cowboys placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on WR George Pickens, the offseason program and whether or not Pickens will attend it has come into question. When asked about Pickens’ status there at the NFL Owners Meetings, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said he’s been in contact with Pickens, but has no assurances that he will participate in the offseason program.<\/p>\n
“No, and I haven’t pushed that on him,” Schottenhiemer said when asked if he’d had assurance from George Pickens on his attendance in the offseason program. “We’re all going through the process. It’s almost April, we’re still a couple weeks away. It’s going to play out the way it plays out. Again, it’s all voluntary, so we’ll see where it goes.”<\/p>\n
For now, Pickens continues his offseason, where he’s been traveling with fellow WR CeeDee Lamb, and as Schottenheimer added, catching passes from Dak Prescott. Despite questions about Pickens’ long term future in Dallas, Schottenheimer remains confident Pickens will be around for years to come.<\/p>\n
“He’s training with Dak. GP loves it here. We love GP,” Schottenheimer said. “We have plans for GP to be here for a long time, so we’ll let the business side of this thing play out and see where it goes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"10:30 a.m. — Now over a month after the Cowboys placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on WR George…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":557568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[4718,166655,349,99,166656],"class_list":["post-557567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-news-all-news","tag-news-updates","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-yinzcam-web-view"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=557567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/557568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
