## Resource

George Pickens is under the Dallas Cowboys’ franchise tag for $27.3M, but hasn’t shown up for voluntary workouts — sparking major questions ahead of mandatory minicamp. After a breakout Pro Bowl season with career highs, the Cowboys aren’t negotiating long-term deals or trading him. He’s reportedly focused on his youth camp and staying in touch with coaches — all voluntary. This is the first franchise tag since 2023, and his attendance starting June 16th could be pivotal for team alignment as they gear up for the season.
