The Cowboys’ relationship with Micah Parsons deteriorated after he didn’t receive a long-term deal, leading to his trade to Green Bay before the season. Similarly, the team plans to franchise tag George Pickens, who may skip offseason and training camp activities until he signs the tag. Coach Brian Schottenheimer downplayed concerns about Pickens’ situation mirroring Parsons’, emphasizing the business aspect of contracts. Pickens, who had a standout 2025 season, is seeking a lucrative deal akin to CeeDee Lamb’s contract.
