Pickens is represented by the same agent as Micah Parsons.

The Cowboys' situation with George Pickens carries risk despite his stated intention to play. Pickens is represented by the same agent as Micah Parsons, whose contract gridlock with Dallas soured publicly before he was traded to the Green Bay Packers. While unlikely, there is a chance Pickens could have a change of heart about playing on a one-year rental deal, and his price tag could also rise as the season progresses, creating potential volatility.
