## Resource

George Pickens is staying focused on football despite waiting for a long-term deal with the Cowboys, joining Dak Prescott’s Utah retreat to build chemistry with teammates ahead of training camp. While the Cowboys won’t negotiate before July 15, Pickens will earn over $27M under his franchise tag this season. His quiet, mature approach—prioritizing team prep over contract drama—is paying off, as a strong season could boost his value and future earnings. His presence signals he’s all-in on the game, letting his performance dictate his next contract. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
