## Resource

Cris Carter breaks down the Dallas Cowboys’ receiver dilemma, arguing that George Pickens’ future in Dallas is tied to the team’s salary cap crunch. With CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott already locked into big contracts, adding Pickens to a long-term deal—potentially worth $35-40M annually—would push the receiver-quarterback tandem over $100M, a move Jerry Jones, as a savvy businessman, likely won’t make. Despite a record-setting 2025 season—93 catches, 1,400+ yards, 9 TDs, and Pro Bowl honors—Pickens remains on the franchise tag, essentially auditioning for his next contract. His performance could force Jones’ hand, but the financial strain may push him toward free agency next offseason.
