George Pickens' Contract Drama with Cowboys

0:00On March 23rd, George Pickens had a huge breakout year with the Dallas Cowboys in 2025. After getting traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers, he caught 93 passes for 1,429 yards and 9 touchdowns. The Cowboys slapped the franchise tag on him to lock him in for one more season at around 27 million dollars. But that might not sit well, especially after Jackson Smith and Jigba signed a big extension averaging just over 42 million per year. Folks like Skit Bayless are already predicting drama. He says Pickens, who loves making highlight real catches, won't be happy playing second fiddle and will push hard for his cash right away. Dallas is already shelling out 34 million a season to CV Lamb, so resetting the market for Pickens seems like a long shot. That could lead to some real tension in the locker room. The two sides have until July 15th to hammer out a long-term deal, so keep an eye on how this plays out as training camp nears.
