Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens took a swipe at his former team as he began to get assimilated in the offense at training camp.

The first day of Cowboys training camp featured a couple of defensive players talking about contractual issues with the team, but a new member of the offense was in a more positive frame of mind.

Micah Parsons shared frustration over his dealings with the team, while Trevon Diggs maintains he's happy in Dallas. Also, notes from Practice #1.

The contract situation involving Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys is starting to get muddy. A day after owner Jerry Jones shaded his best defensive player by harping on injuries, a new report indicates the two sides haven't gone to the negotiating table in significant detail like previously stated.

Given that the Dallas Cowboys have gone 29 seasons since appearing in an NFC championship game — the longest drought in the conference — owner Jerry Jones has found himself occasionally considering whether to step down as general manager.
