Cowboys COO Stephen Jones addressed the rumors directly on 105.3 The Fan and was unambiguous.
"You hate to get into things like that, but no, we've had no one call with interest in George Pickens," Jones said.

The Edmonton Oilers went to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals in 2024 and 2025.
This year they lost to the Anaheim Ducks in six games.

GM Stan Bowman addressed the media Saturday morning at Rogers Place for a 30-plus-minute exit interview and declined to guarantee his coach's future in any meaningful way.
"When you don't have success, I th...

Well, it’s been an interesting past few days for the Toronto Maple Leafs. First, they hired a new GM , and the reaction has been, well, mixed.

Toledo Mud Hens vs. Memphis Red Birds (postponed) This was just as well in the wake of manager Gabe Alvarez’s sudden firing on Tuesday.
