Pickens price tag up as Cowboys free agency looms

George Pickens, who posted career-best numbers in his first Cowboys season (93 receptions, 1,429 yards, 9 TDs), says he'd love to stay with Dallas but free agency isn't entirely in his control. He expects to command north of $20 million per year, with a franchise tag possibly in the high $20s, while Dallas balances Lamb's $25 million base and other cap hits. He seeks the best deal for both sides and has not spoken with Jerry Jones; negotiations will hinge on his agent. Pickens stresses he's a playmaker who could thrive anywhere, even joking about Canada.
