Cowboys Tag George Pickens with Franchise Tag

The Dallas Cowboys have officially placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, locking him in for the 2026 season.

The move comes after the March 3 deadline passed, guaranteeing Pickens a salary of approximately $28 million against the cap.

Acquired from Pittsburgh in 2025, Pickens led the team with 1,429 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. The organization hopes to secure a long-term deal soon, as prominent teammates Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb have advocated for the agreement.
