Show Notes
The Dallas Cowboys have placed the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, securing him for the 2026 season at a cost of $27.3 million. The team is working on a long-term deal but has until July 15th to negotiate. Pickens, who joined the Cowboys from the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, had a breakout year with 93 catches for 1,429 yards and 9 touchdowns. Coach Brian Schottenheimer is not pressuring him to attend voluntary offseason workouts. If no long-term deal is reached, Pickens could earn another franchise tag in the future if he continues to perform well and avoid distractions.
