It's also somewhat of a gamble. Pickens is represented by the same agent as Micah Parsons. The relationship between Parsons' camp and the Cowboys soured publicly during Parsels' contract gridlock, and he was subsequently traded to the Green Bay Packers. Still, while unlikely, there's a chance Pickens could have a change of heart about playing on a one-year rental deal. His price tag could also rise as the year progresses.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Pickens' agent ties to Parsons create contract risk; holdout or price escalation possible.

There is a calculated risk for the Cowboys with Pickens on the franchise tag. While unlikely, there remains a chance Pickens could have a change of heart about playing on a one-year rental deal, particularly given that he is represented by the same agent as Micah Parsons, whose contract gridlock with Dallas soured publicly before Parsons was traded to Green Bay. Additionally, Pickens' price tag could rise as the season progresses.
