EFL reveal 'Spygate' hearing timescale
Southampton's fate in the Championship play-offs hangs in the balance as EFL hearing is set for May 19.
George Pickens did not attend the Dallas Cowboys' voluntary workouts, sparking debate among fans. His absence is not surprising, as participation is not mandatory and he cannot be fined.
Should fans care that Pickens isn't attending Cowboys voluntary workouts?
The Dallas Cowboys are in the beginning stages of their offseason program and that means the George Pickens watch is on. The will he or wonât he show up for workouts debate has been ongoing, and there's an early answer; Pickens was not in attendance as voluntary team work began.
In his first opportunity to participate with the team since signing his franchise tag, Pickens declined to show up. The 25-year-old WR is not obligated to participate in any workout that isnât mandatory and he canât be fined or disciplined by the team.
Pickens not showing up shouldnât be a surprise; what wouldâve been a shock is if he had been in attendance for the workout.
As much as Brian Schottenheimer says he hopes Pickens will attend and will be excited to see him around (whenever that is), it has never been likely the playmaker would show up for anything that wasnât required.
Thereâs no reason to worry about Pickensâ absence at the workout. Heâs a veteran WR who knows how to prepare for an upcoming season, and in his first year as a Cowboy, Pickens was vital to the teamâs offensive success.
Playing with quarterback Dak Prescott, Pickens showed what he was capable of with a 93 catch, 1,429-yard and nine touchdown season, all career highs. Those were numbers that saw Pickens earn a place among the NFLâs best, being named a Second-Team All-Pro.
Pickensâ success helped translate to the Cowboysâ offense rank among the best in the game. Prescott, Pickens and fellow WR CeeDee Lamb led a passing attack that was second in the NFL in yards per game. In a short amount of time working together, it was clear that Pickens meshed well with Dallas' offense, and its QB.
George Pickens is not attending the Cowboys' voluntary workouts because participation is not mandatory, and he is not obligated to show up.
Pickens missing voluntary workouts has no immediate consequences since they are not mandatory, and he cannot be fined or disciplined by the team.
While Pickens' absence may raise concerns among fans, it is common for players to skip voluntary workouts, and it does not significantly impact the Cowboys' offseason program.
Signing his franchise tag allows Pickens to secure his contract with the Cowboys, but it does not require him to attend voluntary workouts.

Southampton's fate in the Championship play-offs hangs in the balance as EFL hearing is set for May 19.
Bluffton High School has unveiled its 2026 football schedule, featuring teams from three states!
See every story in Sports â including breaking news and analysis.
The expectation has been that Pickens wouldnât be showing up before itâs mandatory, which isnât until minicamp in mid-June. Prior to then, no one should anticipate Pickens participating in any offseason team workouts.
