Cowboys tag George Pickens to keep negotiating power in 2026
TL;DR Summary
Dallas placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on WR George Pickens for 2026, allowing him to negotiate with other teams while the Cowboys can match any offer; if they don’t, Dallas would receive two first-round picks as compensation. Pickens enjoyed a breakout 2025 season after being traded from Pittsburgh, and the tag buys time to work out a long-term deal before a mid-summer deadline, with a potential $29 million salary if he plays on the tag.
