Jesse Holley· Jun 29, 2026
Holley says Jake Ferguson remains clearly the Cowboys' No. 1 tight end, expects Dak Prescott to put up roughly 3,500 yards and 25-30 touchdowns simply by staying healthy, believes both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb start at 1,000 receiving yards in this offense, and thinks Tyler Guyton will keep an NFL job for the next six to eight years.
“In this offense, George Pickens would be a walking thousand yard receiver.”
