Cowboys Tag Pickens for One Year | Dallas Cowboys News
Description
The Dallas Cowboys just slapped the franchise tag on star WR George Pickens, locking him into a one-year, $27.3M deal — and made it clear no extension talks will happen before July 15. Despite his monster 2024 season — 93 catches, 1,400+ yards, 9 TDs, Pro Bowl, All-Pro — the Cowboys are playing chess, not checkers. Former exec Louis Riddick says they believe Pickens thrives under pressure, and this move might be a setup for him to leave after this tagged year. The Cowboys are betting he’ll “prove it” on the field, hoping his elite play forces a long-term deal next offseason — all while keeping their options open.
