🏈 DONE DEAL: Dallas Cowboys Sign George Pickens to ‘Huge’ Contract in a Sensitive Period — NFL World Stunned
Arlington, Texas — June 27, 2025 | The Dallas Cowboys have made a shocking, polarizing move that’s dominating headlines across the NFL world. In a deal confirmed just hours ago, they have signed wide receiver George Pickens to a record-breaking contract amid what fans are calling the “most sensitive period in recent franchise history.”
The official announcement dropped on the team’s X (formerly Twitter) account at 11:43 AM CST:
“We’ve added an elite talent to America’s Team.
Welcome to Dallas, George Pickens. 🤠🔥
#CowboysNation #DoneDeal”
Within minutes, the post had over 4.5 million views, and a full-blown war had erupted in the comments section.
💸 The Contract: Massive, Mysterious… and Questionable?
While the Cowboys have not disclosed full details, league insiders report the contract is worth $120 million over 5 years, with $78 million guaranteed — making Pickens one of the top-5 highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
🚨 But why now?
The timing couldn’t be more controversial. Just last week, Cowboys legend CeeDee Lamb hinted at a possible holdout over his own contract dispute. And quarterback Dak Prescott’s future is also hanging in the balance.
“You can’t throw that kind of money around when your core is unstable,” one analyst from ESPN ranted.
🤐 The Pickens Problem: Attitude Over Ability?
While George Pickens’ on-field explosiveness and highlight-reel catches made him a fan favorite in Pittsburgh, his behavioral issues and locker room controversies were a regular feature on sports talk shows.
From social media outbursts to questionable sideline conduct, Pickens was often described as “volatile,” “immature,” and even a potential locker room cancer.
Cowboys fans are now divided:
“This is a disaster waiting to happen,” one Reddit user wrote.
“We already have enough drama. Now we’re importing more?”
Others see the move as a game-changer:
“We haven’t had a receiver this explosive since Dez. Pickens is HIM.”
🔥 Internal Tensions at The Star?
Sources close to the Cowboys’ front office hint that not everyone supported the signing. One assistant coach reportedly threatened to resign if the deal went through, citing concerns over Pickens’ impact on team culture.
Even more controversially, team captain Micah Parsons unfollowed the Cowboys’ account within 30 minutes of the announcement — a move fans quickly noticed and dissected.
“Is this a message?”
“Micah isn’t happy. Jerry better watch out.”
🧨 Is Jerry Jones Betting the Franchise?
At 82 years old, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has made it clear: he wants one more Super Bowl before retirement. Signing a young, talented but unpredictable receiver might be his latest — and riskiest — gamble.
“When you want a ring, you swing big,” Jones said cryptically when approached by reporters.
“Pickens is worth the risk.”
But with rising tensions in the locker room, unresolved contract issues with Lamb and Dak, and a fanbase growing tired of drama, some insiders fear this could implode before it even begins.
📈 What’s Next for the Cowboys?
Training camp starts in just three weeks, and all eyes will be on how Pickens fits into Mike McCarthy’s offense. Will he deliver jaw-dropping touchdowns, or will his arrival spark the meltdown of a playoff-caliber team?
For now, Cowboys fans are split right down the middle — with hope and dread in equal measure.
📣 Final Word
Whether you love it or hate it, the George Pickens signing is official — and it might just be the most talked-about NFL deal of the year.
