FRISCO, Texas (AP) — By the time Dak Prescott got to his phone after the Dallas Cowboys agreed to a, the star quarterback said he had about six missed calls from owner Jerry Jones’ assistant.

“Literally no idea what it could’ve been about and actually had a voicemail from Jerry, ‘Hey, I’ve got some good news I want to share with you,’” Prescott said Tuesday. “So I called him back and he was excited. Just a lot of excitement from the both of us.”The Cowboys entered the offseason after the end of a three-year playoff run knowing they lacked a proven No. 2 receiver behind CeeDee Lamb. Then they skipped the position altogether in the draft.In their mind, they still don’t have a No. 2 receiver. Dallas thinks it has two No. 1s after giving the Pittsburgh Steelers a third-round pick in next year’s draft while the teams swapped late-round 2027 choices in the deal announced May 7.

“I think CeeDee said it best,” first-year coach Brian Schottenheimer said. “I saw his comments where we don’t have a one, we don’t do A’s and B’s, we think that there’s a one over there. If you look over there, there’s a one there. So I think that’s the way that we view (Pickens).”Prescott, Lamb and Pickens are on the field together for the first time this week in organized team activities.

“We can complement each other,” Lamb said of Pickens. “Just being his backbone and being here for him and letting him know that he has some help on the other side that’s a dog and that’s willing to win. I’m going to do everything in my power to do that.”

Going into his 10th season, Prescott potentially has the most dangerous second option at receiver since Amari Cooper was traded three years ago, back when Lamb was considered the No. 2 guy.Snow was expected to be confined to mountainous areas, but accumulations there were possible.

Nor’easters are usually winter weather events, and it is unusual to see them in May. They typically form when there are large temperature differences from west to east during winter when there is cold air over land and the oceans are relatively warm.But right now there is a traffic jam in the atmosphere because of an area of high pressure in the Canadian Arctic that is allowing unusually cold air to funnel down over the Northeast. The low pressure system off the East Coast is being fueled by a jet stream that is unusually south at the moment.

“It really is a kind of a winter-type setup that you rarely see this late,” said Judah Cohen, seasonal forecast director at the private firm Atmospheric and Environmental Research.If this type of pattern in the atmosphere happened two months earlier, he said, “we’d be talking about a crippling snowstorm in the Northeastern U.S., not just a wet start to Memorial Day weekend.”
