## Resource

George Pickens is locked in for a massive $27.3M guaranteed payday in 2026 via franchise tag, but the real story is what happens next—especially since the Cowboys initially refused to even negotiate a new deal. Training camp has brought a surprising shift: owner Jerry Jones credits head coach Brian Schottenheimer for smoothing things over and rebuilding trust. Schottenheimer says Pickens is more focused and driven than ever, signaling a dominant season ahead—and a major headache for opponents.
