Cowboys Franchise Tag George Pickens for $27.298M

The Cowboys placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, worth $27.298 million. This move prevents him from hitting unrestricted free agency while the team continues long-term contract negotiations. Dak Prescott has advised Pickens to 'bet on himself' during this process. The outcome remains uncertain, with possibilities ranging from a long-term deal to Pickens playing on the tag or being traded.
