George Pickens Signs Franchise Tag, Secures Cowboys Future

On April 29, Dallas Cowboys' wide receiver George Pickens just signed his franchise

tag, locking in $27.3 million, guaranteed for the 2026 season.

The team made the announcement on Wednesday, securing their breakout star for at least

this year.

Pickens exploded onto the scene last year in his first full season with the Cowboys

back in 2025 proving he's a key piece of there, passing a tag.

This deal gives him full injury protection and keeps him in Dallas for now, even though

the tag technically allows for trades.

But Cowboys execs Stephen Jones made it clear they're not shopping him anywhere.

Fans are buzzing about what this means for the offense, especially with Pickens already

showing he can dominate.

It stabilizes the roster heading into training camp.

With the ink dry, all eyes turn to how Pickens builds on that momentum and helps push the

Cowboys deeper into the playoffs this fall.
