Before the NFL draft, the Cowboys confirmed that wide receiver George Pickens will sign his franchise tag, ensuring him $27.3 million for the 2026 season. This decision follows the team’s announcement that they will not pursue a long-term deal with Pickens this offseason. Despite the possibility of a trade, executive vice president Stephen Jones stated there is no intention to move him, expressing enthusiasm for Pickens’ commitment. His future will likely become a point of interest again in the 2027 offseason.
