Jerry Jones Makes Troubling Comment On George Pickens' Future

Jerry Jones may not change his negotiation tactics when discussing a new deal with George Pickens this offseason.

Pickens has earned a substantial raise after tallying 92 catches for 1,420 yards and nine touchdowns in his first season with the Cowboys. The pending free agent may have to deal directly with Jones to stay in Dallas.

Jones said on Tuesday morning's weekly 105.3 The Fan interview that he plans on talking to Pickens and his agent, David Mulugheta.

"I don't know," Jones said. "We'll see how it goes. Probably both, but I certainly intend to be speaking with George."

Will Jones repeat Micah Parsons saga?

That's probably not what Cowboy fans want to hear after the Micah Parsons debacle. The Cowboys owner and general manager controversially sidestepped the star pass rusher's agent to speak directly with the player.

Parsons requested a trade on Aug. 1, claiming Jones turned informal meetings into negotiations without his agent present. Jones thought the two parties reached a deal, but he dismissed the defensive star's demand as a negotiating tactic before sending him to the Green Bay Packers for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks.

After the blockbuster, Jones insisted he didn't break any rules by speaking only to Parsons.

"There is no violation," Jones said in September. "Period. I have all the authority in the world, and the player has all the authority in the world, to negotiate directly with me. There is no equivocation."
