## Resource

George Pickens is staying with the Cowboys for now, but don’t expect a long-term deal this year — the team’s eyeing a franchise tag in 2026 worth over $27 million. While execs say they believe he wants to be there and see potential, they’re holding off on big commitments until he proves his breakout 2024 season wasn’t a fluke. Pickens, focused on winning and bringing a Super Bowl to Dallas, showed up to minicamp, shutting down trade rumors — but is still sidelined from full team activities. If he delivers another elite season, he could become one of the highest-paid receivers in the league. The Cowboys’ rising roster and his performance will determine his payday.
