## Resource

George Pickens is sitting out team drills at Cowboys mandatory minicamp, showing up just to avoid fines but still holding out for a long-term deal. Signed his franchise tag in April, he skipped voluntary spring workouts — but plans to ramp up gradually once training camp hits in July. The standoff stems from his desire for security and fair compensation, understandable for a top performer. While not fully participating yet, his return is expected to be smooth once camp kicks in. Eyes on July and whether that big contract comes through — either way, his sideline presence is already sparking conversation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
