Pickens has proven that he\u2019s one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, doing it against an elite Green Bay Packers defense on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>Pickens finished that game with eight receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 16.8 yards per catch. While Pickens has been as good as it gets early on, it\u2019s also important to note that he has an upcoming contract situation that the Cowboys will need to address.<\/p>\n<p>When speaking to reporters about the situation, Jerry Jones stated that it\u2019s something the team is working on. Whether that comes in the immediate future or at the end of the season, it sure sounds like Jones and the Cowboys want to get something done with their new star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s an exemplary teammate. He is exemplary in his work preparation, and you can see the results of that out there on Sundays, obviously. Reminds me a little of his weight has different contortions as he\u2019s catching a ball. He can just catch the ball in any set of circumstance\u2026\u201d Jones said , per the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud to tell you that we\u2019ve got some outstanding structure in our cap space that will allow us to do a lot of things that I didn\u2019t think when we finished this time last year that we might have the room to do some of these things we\u2019re talking about doing. We got it.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How Much Are the Cowboys Willing to Pay George Pickens<\/h2>\n<p>The question now for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys will be centered on how much money Pickens could get.<\/p>\n<p>When predicting his contract a few months ago, Rohan Chakravarthi of SB Nation had him coming in at a $52.5 million deal, which would be compared to what Jerry Jeudy\u2019s got with the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n<p>However, Chakravarthi also mentioned the four-year, $92 million deal that Calvin Ridley signed with the Tennessee Titans. If Pickens continues to play this way, that $92 million deal feels a lot better than the deal Jeudy took.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen thinking of a baseline, think of Cleveland Browns wideout Jerry Jeudy, who signed a three-year, $52.5 million deal with $41 million guaranteed after being traded last offseason\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother contract to note is Calvin Ridley\u2019s four-year, $92 million deal in free agency with the Tennessee Titans. Yes, free agency usually boosts a player\u2019s value, but Pickens could be in that situation next offseason as his rookie deal finishes,\u201d he wrote .<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Can George Pickens Stay Level-Headed for the Cowboys?<\/h2>\n<p>The most important aspect for the Dallas Cowboys and Pickens is ensuring that he remains level-headed on the field.<\/p>\n<p>There were instances with the Pittsburgh Steelers before being traded to the Cowboys when Pickens would be doing things on the field that just weren\u2019t acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>It was surprising, considering he played for Mike Tomlin, but that was likely part of the reason the team decided to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Pickens understands what\u2019s going on and is happy to be in Dallas. As long as that remains true over the next few years, if they secure a contract, nothing should unfold that will alter how he plays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe minute I sat down with George Pickens in my office \u2026 it was very clear to me, this guy was fired up to be a Dallas Cowboy and excited to help us go win games,\u201d head coach Brian Schottenheimer said, per ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou got to remember this is a team game,\u201d Pickens said. \u201cThis is not like one-on-one basketball where it\u2019s just me and another player. This is a team game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com. Since 2019, his sports coverage has appeared at Sports Illustrated, oddschecker, ClutchPoints and Sportskeeda.
