Patrik: I understand this might be a difficult one to consider, given how things ended, but there are a few that stand out to me. There’s the three-game win streak in the span of 11 days that also followed the blockbuster trade for Quinnen Williams, amongst others, but I’m gonna go with the emergence of George Pickens as one of the best wide receivers in the league. What makes it all so poignant is the narrative that was attached to him leaving Pittsburgh for Dallas, and how he quickly put that in a grave and became a locker room and fan favorite en route to a career season that often helped carry the Cowboys’ offense to either wins or near-wins. Pickens was a revelation for Dallas in 2025, and re-signing him is the biggest no-brainer around, which is why even the front office isn’t interested in letting the salary cap get in their way during negotiations with him — as Jerry Jones has already admitted a time or two. So, yeah, Pickens and more Pickens, please.
