Show Notes
The Dallas Cowboys have placed the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, giving them until mid-July to negotiate a long-term deal. This move comes amidst a tight salary cap situation, as the team also deals with the high salaries of quarterback Dak Prescott and other top receivers. Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter criticizes the decision, warning it could backfire and upset Pickens. Carter also slams the Cowboys approach to paying their star players, comparing it to the Cincinnati Bengals model of building depth throughout the team. Negotiations are ongoing, with the Cowboys insisting they want Pickens long-term and Prescott urging patience. The question remains whether investing heavily in offensive stars builds contenders or just stalls progress.
