Cowboys Headlines: Pickens still absent; 3 FAs signed; Switzer's RB grandson gets tryout
George Pickens was absent Monday, his tender still unsigned. This amid a deleted report that he demanded a trade. Also, eyeing a new crop of rookies.
The George Pickens drama may not have been wrapped all nice and neat with that pre-draft report after all. Despite news late last week that the wideout intended to sign his franchise tag and report for voluntary workouts, Monday came and went with no Pickens and no signature on that tender. Maybe it's nothing, but the situation bears watching, just as with several other marquee M.
I. A. s around the league.
And things didn't get any clearer after an Adam Schefter report that Pickens had demanded either a new deal or a trade first aired... and then was deleted. But there's still a new crop of rookies to evaluate.
Monday's headlines look back at the Cowboys' draft, how it stacked up, and how breaking some longstanding commandments may have worked in their favor. Also, among this year's undrafted free agents is a running back with a familiar last name. Could Barry Switzer's grandson find his way to a roster spot?
