Back to EpisodesCowboys Franchise Tag Pickens, Eye Long-Term Deal
Description
The Dallas Cowboys offseason is heating up with significant moves at the NFL owners meetings. Wide receiver George Pickens, a Pro Bowl player, received the non-exclusive franchise tag worth $27.3 million, but no new contract talks have started yet. The Cowboys bolstered their secondary and defensive line with new additions, but the linebacker position remains a concern. The team is open to a rookie stepping up as the green dot linebacker and hints at more moves coming. Injury-wise, Donovan Ezeiruaku will miss most of OTAs due to labrum surgery, while DaRon Bland and Shavon Revel are recovering. Kicker Brandon Aubrey is on a second-round tender, and left tackle Tyler Guyton is focusing on staying healthy. The trade of defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers was emotionally challenging for the staff. Expect more action on linebacker, nickel, and outside linebacker spots as the Cowboys aim to strengthen their defense.
