Cowboys' George Pickens Nears Free Agency, Seeks $30M+ Deal

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens is slated to be a free agent in March, prompting the team to face significant long-term decisions. Pickens is expected to command more than $30 million in annual average salary in his next deal. However, there are lingering feelings of apprehension among other front offices across the league regarding his mercurial reputation while playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers prior to joining Dallas. His contract situation will be a key factor in the Cowboys' efforts to navigate their significantly negative 2026 salary cap.
