Pickens on $27.3M franchise tag; contract uncertainty clouds Cowboys' future.

Pickens is playing the 2026 season on a $27.3 million franchise tag after the Cowboys and Pickens' camp did not negotiate toward a long-term deal ahead of the July 15 deadline. The source notes there is a ticking clock on Dallas' offense as constructed, with some around the league wondering whether Dallas will have to choose next spring between keeping Lamb or Pickens. Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones acknowledged the team will need to address Pickens' contract situation while also funding defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and pass-rush production.
