The Cowboys plan to use the franchise tag on WR George Pickens to facilitate negotiations for a long-term deal or potential trade. Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones expressed the desire for Pickens to participate in the offseason program, although reports suggest he may not attend during contract discussions. Both parties have mutual interest in extending his stay in Dallas, with a long-term deal potentially exceeding $30 million per year. Pickens, traded to the Cowboys after being drafted in 2022, had an impressive 2025 season with 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns.
