Jason La Canfora reports that the Dallas Cowboys are unlikely to pursue a long-term contract with WR George Pickens this offseason, opting instead to franchise tag him again in 2027. Owner Jerry Jones has expressed skepticism about an extension, and concerns about Pickens’ character and the financial implications of multiple high-value contracts could influence this decision. Pickens, who had a strong 2025 season, may hold out to negotiate a better deal, potentially extending his absence into training camp. He was previously franchised at $27.298 million for the 2026 season but has yet to sign the tender.
