The Dallas Cowboys are making it clear that they want to retain breakout star wide receiver George Pickens , who agreed to sign his franchise tag before the start of the 2026 NFL Draft. By signing the franchise tag, Pickens will receive at least $27.3 million fully guaranteed for the upcoming season, barring a long-term extension.
