## Resource

George Pickens, recently signed to a franchise tag with the Dallas Cowboys, has skipped the first voluntary workout, raising eyebrows about his commitment and headspace. Despite the workouts being optional, fans and media are questioning his motivation, with theories ranging from wanting big stats to punishing the team for stalled contract talks. The Cowboys have no plans to trade him, so his absence is notable. Keep an eye on June first when OTAs start to see if he shows up, as his presence or absence could impact the narrative of his full buy-in.
