## Resource

George Pickens showed up to minicamp — a clear signal he’s not planning a holdout — but don’t expect trade rumors to vanish anytime soon, especially with Jerry Jones running the show. Speculation’s already swirling, with Bleacher Report suggesting a midseason trade to the Chiefs before the 2026 deadline, given Kansas City’s receiver uncertainty. But that deal hinges on Dallas’ QB situation: if Dak Prescott’s healthy and the Cowboys are still playoff contenders by October, trading Pickens makes little sense. He’s there to elevate the offense, not be a placeholder. The real trade window opens if Dallas tanks early — when Pickens becomes a rebuilding asset rather than a playoff weapon, and teams like KC might see value in a late-season upgrade.
