Pickens Accused of Leaking Plays Via Mouthpiece?
19 Sep
Summary
- Analyst video alleges Pickens may have signaled plays using his mouthpiece.
- Fans criticized Pickens for alleged lack of effort and past issues.
- Cowboys acquired Pickens in 2025 and he is on a one-year franchise tag.
George Pickens, wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, is under scrutiny following accusations of signaling plays to the New York Giants. A viral video from an analyst suggests Pickens may have used his mouthpiece to communicate whether the Cowboys were running or passing plays during their recent 28-20 defeat.
This theory has led to significant backlash from fans on social media. Critics pointed to Pickens' performance, which included three receptions for 28 yards against the Giants, and cited past concerns about his effort level and commitment, referencing his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pickens was traded to the Cowboys in the 2025 offseason. He is currently playing under a one-year franchise tag worth $27.3 million for the 2026 season, as a long-term contract agreement was not reached. The Cowboys will look for improved performance from Pickens in their upcoming games.
