Show Notes

The Dallas Cowboys have placed a franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens for the 2026 season, worth $27.3 million, instead of offering a long-term extension. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks have signed Jaxon Smith-Njigba to a four-year deal worth $168.6 million, including $120 million guaranteed, surpassing the previous high set by Cincinnatis JaMarr Chase. Experts believe Pickens could command even higher pay, potentially topping Chases $40 million per year. Despite Pickens desire to stay in Dallas, the Cowboys are unlikely to match the big numbers he and his agent are seeking, and theres no indication of a trade. Pickens participation in the Cowboys voluntary workouts starting April 20th remains uncertain.
