Yahoo Sports NFL on George Pickens

Pickens on $27.3M franchise tag; free agency looms in March 2027.

Pickens signed a one-year, fully guaranteed $27.3 million franchise tag on April 29 and is scheduled to become a free agent in March 2027. The Cowboys announced during the draft they would not negotiate a long-term deal. Jones characterized the tension between Pickens' desire for a life-changing long-term contract and the Cowboys' preference to defer the decision as "not uncommon tension" in the NFL, framing the franchise tag structure as a mutually acceptable short-term arrangement.
