With George Pickens playing on the franchise tag, paying Ryan Flournoy means that the Cowboys are soon to be expecting big things from the small school receiver. His 2027 base salary is just $1.5 million, with a $500,000 roster bonus and $1.25 million in remaining signing-bonus proration. If Ryan Flournoy takes another step forward in 2026, Dallas could have a legitimate trade asset.

Signed as Pickens insurance; contract structure offers trade asset upside.

Signed as insurance depth at wide receiver behind George Pickens (who plays on franchise tag); contract structure provides Cowboys flexibility and potential trade asset upside. His 2027 base salary is $1.5 million with a $500,000 roster bonus and $1.25 million in remaining signing-bonus proration; if traded before the roster bonus, Dallas saves roughly $2 million against the cap. The source notes that if Flournoy takes another step forward in 2026, he could become a legitimate trade asset for the Cowboys.
