What in the world is going on over there in Dallas? A question many fans ask every offseason regarding constant bad play on the field, tension, and a whirlwind of drama involving players and the front office. The Dallas Cowboys have a long way to go before they become worthy of winning the Super Bowl.
One thing is for certain about the current state of the Dallas Cowboys, is that they contain an elite offense led by Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens. Well, that is if Pickens does remain with the team. After reports of him signing his franchise tag at a hefty price, it turns out that Pickens has not signed the dotted line just yet. However … will he?
The Cowboys may not be so sure that he will. In fact, the team has signed veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a one-year deal as possible insurance that Pickens does not sign. The standoff should not last long, but the Cowboys wanted to make sure they had another veteran in the room by bringing in MVS.
MVS last played for the Pittsburgh Steelers after beginning the 2025 season with the San Francisco 49ers. He caught just 10 catches for 80 yards, but did have that 19-yard TD against the Miami Dolphins. In 2024, Valdes-Scantling caught four touchdowns with the New Orleans Saints. There is still a belief that he can be a playmaker in this league at age 31. His days with the Green Bay Packers prove it.
Also on Monday, the Cowboys signed receiver Tyler Johnson and linebacker Curtis Robinson, making three total signings.
Stay tuned to the ongoing talks between the Cowboys and Pickens as one of the best receivers in the league could find another new home in 2026.
