The Dallas Cowboys are expected to place the franchise tag on why receiver George Pickens as the free agency deadline approaches. This move will keep the star past catcher in Dallas for another year at around $27 million. Quarterback DAC Prescott recently weighed in, telling Pickens to embrace the tag, bet on himself, and not get too caught up in business talk. Prescott drew from his own past, noting he played on a one-year deal for far less before his big franchise payout years ago. He praised Pickens as a hell of a player and expressed hope for a long-term deal, but urged him to just play and prove his worth. Pundits like Mike Florio called out Prescott for walking a dangerous line, saying his words sound too much like team ownership trying to downplay Pay jump. They argue it's unfair since quarterbacks like DAC get multiple big chances while receivers like Pickens have just one shot at top money. Analysts are drawing parallels to last

Pickens's time in Pittsburgh also factors in, where poor quarterback play limited his shine and fueled frustration. Talks have turned into a real chess match with the Cowboys weighing cap space against stars like CD-LAM. A long-term extension could limit other moves, but trading Pickens remains a low option as both sides push for a deal soon. Thanks to our sponsor for supporting today's coverage.
