Cowboys Stalled on Pickens Extension, Eyeing Draft

0:00On April 22nd, the Dallas Cowboys have stalled out on a long-term extension for wide receiver George Pickens, who's locked into a 27-point. $3 million salary cab hit for the 2026 season. Pickens, a 25-year-old traded over from the Steelers last off-season, exploded with 93 catches, 1,400, 29 receiving yards, and 9 touchdowns, numbers that led the Cowboys and cracked the top 10 league wide. Meanwhile, with the wide receiver market blowing past $40 million per year, Dallas keeps saying they want to deal done, but talks ain't, moving, and Pickens might be pushing for top shelf cash. That could mean another franchise tag to test if he repeats the magic. Setting up even pricier options down the line in 2027 though, any drop off my cool things off. Earlier this week, word is, the Cowboys are eyeing the draft this weekend, especially liking Arizona State's Jordan Tyson to stack their receiver room, and keep options wide open moving forward.
