The Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver George Pickens are together again, but maybe not for long. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones has Pickens on the franchise tag after inking a one-year, $27.3 million tender, but they don’t have a long-term extension. So, what does that mean for the future?Jones and the team have made it clear that they don’t plan to negotiate a real extension for the rest of the year, and that leaves the Cowboys and Pickens in a sticky situation. At this point, both parties need to plan for the future in case they never come to a long-term deal. One way the Cowboys can do that on their end is by training up another wide receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb.On Thursday, the Cowboys made a wide receiver move, and some could see it as a way to prepare for a future without Pickens.The Cowboys sign UFL players, including a wide receiverAccording to a report from Todd Archer of ESPN, the Cowboys are signing three UFL players: wide receiver Denzel Mims, cornerback Ameer Speed and offensive lineman Chris Glaser. The Cowboys, per Archer, also moved Matt Hennessy to injured reserve and released Corey Ballentine and Romello Brinson. That leaves one roster spot open ahead of training camp.Mims, according to the UFL, was selected by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft as the 59th overall pick. He’s clocked 42 catches for 676 yards in 30 NFL games. So, he brings NFL experience, not just playing time with the UFL. At the very least, he’ll add wide receiver depth, which is always a good thing.
