George Pickens Signs Franchise Tag But Skips Cowboys Workouts

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has signed his non-exclusive franchise tag but has notably not attended the team's voluntary offseason workouts. Owner Jerry Jones commented that Pickens has another season to answer 'all those questions' regarding his long-term status with the team. The move keeps Pickens in Dallas for the 2026 season, though his absence from early team activities suggests ongoing negotiations or personal preparation outside the facility as he enters a contract year.
