Dallas Cowboys Lock in George Pickens with Franchise Tag: A One-Year, $27.3M Deal
The Dallas Cowboys have secured wide receiver George Pickens with the non-exclusive franchise tag, guaranteeing him a one-year, $27.3M deal starting March 11th. Pickens had a breakout season in 2025, earning just $6.7M over four years. Jerry Jones, valuing Pickens highly, called him personally to express confidence. The team aims to negotiate a long-term extension before July 15th. Players like Dak Prescott advise Pickens to bet on himself, drawing parallels to their own franchise tag experiences. This move contrasts with last years handling of Micah Parsons, who was traded for significant compensation. The tag allows Pickens to explore offers from other teams, with Dallas holding right of first refusal or compensation of two first-round picks if they pass.
