George Pickens Franchise Tagged by Cowboys

On April 29th, George Pickens just inked the franchise tag with the Dallas Cowboys, worth

just under $28 million for this season.

That puts an end to all the back and forth that's been buzzing for the past week.

Earlier this week, on April 22nd, Steven Jones dropped during the pre-draft presser that

Pickens would suit up under the tag next year, and negotiations were off the table.

The very next day, April 23rd, Cowboys brass like Jerry and Steven Jones reached out

to Pickens' agent, David Moolagita, trying to smooth.

Things over especially notable since Moolageta reps Michael Parsons after last year's tense

talks.

Fans have been all over this, speculating on trades now that he's locked in, but the

Cowboys are clear, no interest in shipping him out.

With the ink dry, Pickens is locked in loader for Dallas Eyes now shift to how he fits into

their plans moving forward.
