Cowboys Lock in Pickens with Franchise Tag

On April 24, Dallas Cowboys just locked in wide receiver George Pickens with his one-year

franchise tag worth $27,300,000, shutting down all those trade rumors floating around

the 2026 NFL Draft.

This deal keeps their explosive offense rolling with Pickens teaming up alongside CD Lam and

Dak Prescott for at least one more run at the title, giving the squad some much need

of stability up front.

Team execs are breathing easy now.

With Steven Jones straight up saying they have zero plans to move him and the front

office thrilled at how fast it all went down.

Jerry Jones got real candid too, calling Dallas the best spot for Pickens long-term and

brushing off any old character noise from his Pittsburgh days, noting how the locker room

loves the guy.

After a monster 2025 season with a thousand 429 yards and nine touchdowns, expect Pickens

to hit the off season, workouts Monday, and fuel this Cowboys push deep into the playoffs.
