## Resource

Emmanuel Acho is skeptical George Pickens will actually play for the Dallas Cowboys this season, even under the franchise tag, warning that receivers don’t have the same injury safety net as quarterbacks—and if Pickens gets hurt, his big payday could vanish. Former exec Louis Riddick adds that the Cowboys aren’t ready to commit long-term, hinting 2026 might be Pickens’ last year in Dallas, as he signs the tender now to see what unfolds in 2027. Despite his stellar 2024 season—1,400+ yards, 9 TDs, Pro Bowl—Pickens’ future remains uncertain, even as he attended minicamp, calming holdout rumors but not resolving the contract tension.
