Pickens' Reputation Holds Back Big Deal | Dallas Cowboys News
Description
George Pickens had a breakout season with career highs in catches, yards, and touchdowns, but his off-field reputation—especially a Vegas curfew incident involving CeeDee Lamb—is making the Cowboys hesitant to hand him a long-term mega-deal. Despite his on-field dominance, the team is taking a cautious approach, opting to slap the non-exclusive franchise tag on him for $27M next season. This move gives Dallas flexibility to evaluate his consistency and reputation while keeping him on the roster without locking in a massive contract, positioning him to remain a top-tier receiver without commanding the highest-paid receiver salary.
