Cowboys land star wideout George Pickens
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 third-round pick.
Sports Seriously
The NFL offseason marches on as teams enter the second week of organized team activities (OTAs). After this week is through, teams will be back in action with the start of minicamps, the first mandatory part of the offseason.
It's not surprising for players to not be on the field for OTAs, but minicamp is another story. Players can be subject to fines for time missed.
One of the biggest storylines entering minicamps is the future of Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is looking to get an extension done with the team to secure his future in Dallas.
He made it known a week from minicamp that he will not be missing the mandatory part of offseason training.
"I will be there!" Parsons wrote in a post on X on June 3. "I haven't missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook! I'm preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it's in the owner's hands. I'm ready to win a Super Bowl!"
No holdout: Micah Parsons expected at Cowboys mandatory minicamp, Brian Schottenheimer says
This echoes comments from Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer earlier in the day.
"Micah and I talked a couple days ago," Schottenheimer said. "Again, he's doing a little bit of traveling, but (with) everything that he and I have talked about, I expect that he will be here (for mandatory minicamp)."
Parsons was on the field for the Cowboys' voluntary offseason program in April.
"Micah and I have had great communication," Schottenheimer said. "Everything I've asked him to do – and vice versa – he's followed through on. So, I would expect to see him."
Parsons is entering the fifth year of his rookie deal signed after the 2021 NFL Draft. Because of his career performance so far, he's currently set to make $24 million in 2025, all fully guaranteed.
Multiple other edge rushers have signed lucrative extensions this offseason. Las Vegas' Maxx Crosby signed a three-year, $106.5 million extension in March to stay with the Raiders. Days later, Myles Garrett signed a record four-year, $160 million extension with the Cleveland Browns.
Parsons would be the latest to sign an extension. If he doesn't, though, he'd be by far the top free agent in the 2026 offseason.

Giants' Receiver Jalin Hyatt Sends Social Media Message at OTAs
Giants' Receiver Jalin Hyatt Sends Social Media Message at OTAs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Giants receiver Jalin Hyatt was drafted to open up the offense with his elite speed and knack for making big plays downfield. Through his own inconsistencies and poor quarterback play, he stumbled through his rookie season and face-plant in Year 2. Advertisement Subsequently, Hyatt is all but out of New York's long-term plans. Re-signing receiver Darius Slayton for three seasons maintains Hyatt's ceiling as the fourth receiver on this roster. As things stand, Hyatt is enduring a left-tailed outcome for a Day 2 pick, and if he struggles in 2025, it would be awfully difficult to save him a roster spot ahead of a contract year. Hyatt plans on changing the narrative on his career, and that starts at OTAs, where he has impressed with veteran Russell Wilson under center. The Giants' receiver sent a message to his critics in a now-deleted tweet. 'I hold grudges .. I ain't forget.' Advertisement Hyatt's 2024 season went about as poorly as a healthy campaign can go. He was at his best replacing Slayton for one game, but ultimately finished with just eight catches and 62 yards in 16 games. He is yet to find the end zone as a professional. Still, Hyatt possesses upside as a field stretcher, and that meshes well with Wilson, whose 'moon balls' have kept him potent past his prime. He spoke about his growing rapport with the receiving corps at OTAs. 'The time we spent in the offseason has paid off,' he told reporters. "The time that they've worked in their walkthroughs, all the way to how they've approached that to, obviously, our approach in practice. 'And the speed that they play with. You saw Slayton catch that bomb today, I threw it to him, and just his ability to make plays down the field. Advertisement 'Jalin, I'm really excited about him and what he's done so far.' Connecting with Wilson could earn Hyatt the playing time he needs to let his tools win. Head coach Brian Daboll consistently preached being aggressive ahead of the 2024 season, suggesting that he'll unleash Wilson now that he has a passer he can trust. Wilson is always positive, especially when praising his teammates. But that doesn't mean it's all smoke. Hyatt will have the opportunity to earn his quarterback's confidence and push for playing time this summer. So far, he's gotten off to a hot start. 'I think Jalin Hyatt, he's a guy that I really believe in.'

Are Commanders Right To Remain Unconcerned Over Terry McLaurin's Absence?
Are Commanders Right To Remain Unconcerned Over Terry McLaurin's Absence? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. No current player on the Washington Commanders deserved the success that last season brought more than wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Advertisement Since being a pick out of Ohio State in 2019, McLaurin has been able to excel despite having to team with some of the worst quarterbacks in the league throwing him the football. From Carson Wentz to Taylor Heinicke, the Commanders struggled to find a quality quarterback that could get McLaurin the ball. His production never wavered, though. Now, with Jayden Daniels as the star of the show in Washington's offense, McLaurin wants a new contract that pays him his worth as the team's top receiving threat. As a deal has not happened yet, the Ohio State product is choosing to sit out of voluntary workouts. Yet despite reports of a growing frustration on McLaurin's behalf, Daniels specifically is not overly concerned about the contract talks. Advertisement "Me and Terry have a good relationship outside of football,' Daniels said. "Obviously, he has to handle what he has to handle but that doesn't change anything, the fact that he is part of our brotherhood. We know Terry is working and everything. We have to get better and he knows he has to get better each and every day." Daniels's public support of McLaurin could help him as he looks for his new deal. Washington needs to make its top quarterback happy, and extending McLaurin is the best way to do that. McLaurin checking out is dramatic twist. But … A deal will eventually get done with both sides. It's why the organization isn't too worried about where contract talks are currently right now.
