10 lingering NFL offseason questions 🤔 @DanGrazianoESPN makes sense of the Cowboys not extending George Pickens, the St

What happened: ESPN's Dan Graziano broke down 10 lingering NFL offseason questions, anchored by three storylines. He examined why the Dallas Cowboys have not extended wide receiver George Pickens, why the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to bypass quarterback upgrades, and why the Miami Dolphins have not moved running back De'Von Achane.

Why it matters: Each thread carries roster and cap consequences for the upcoming 2026 season. Pickens arrived in Dallas after signing a 1-year, $27.3M fully guaranteed deal, leaving his long-term future unresolved. The Steelers' reluctance to address quarterback and the Dolphins' decision to keep Achane shape both teams' ceilings.

What to watch: Watch for movement on a Pickens extension as training camp approaches, any late veteran-QB addition in Pittsburgh, and whether Miami revisits the trade market for Achane before Week 1.
