What happened
ESPN's Dan Graziano published a list of 10 lingering NFL offseason questions, headlined by the Dallas Cowboys' failure to extend wide receiver George Pickens, the Pittsburgh Steelers passing on quarterback upgrades, and the Miami Dolphins' decision to retain running back De'Von Achane. The piece breaks down the reasoning and risk behind each stalemate as teams head deeper into the offseason.
Why it matters
These three storylines sit at the intersection of contract leverage and roster construction. Pickens is playing on a one-year deal in Dallas with no extension in sight, the Steelers' quarterback room remains unsettled after bypassing veteran upgrades, and Miami's choice to keep Achane signals continued belief in its current backfield rather than cashing in trade value.
What to watch
Watch for whether Dallas opens extension talks with Pickens before training camp, and whether the Steelers add a veteran arm before Week 1.
