## Resource

Emmitt Smith warns the Cowboys that George Pickens might walk after this season, fearing Pickens could feel undervalued and see no future upgrade, especially with other players like Christian Watson securing long-term deals. With Pickens on a one-year franchise tag, the lack of financial security could fuel unrest, and even voluntary workouts might be skipped. Smith stresses this isn’t just about money—it’s about feeling valued, and how the Cowboys handle this now could haunt them down the line.
