The Dallas Cowboys are set to place the franchise tag on George Pickens on Friday, a move that would guarantee the receiver nearly $30 million in 2026 while the sides work on a long-term contract, two people with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press. Dallas will use the non-exclusive tag on Pickens, one of the people said, meaning he can negotiate with other teams but the Cowboys can match any offer. The Cowboys had been expected to use the tag on Pickens since last fall when he began to flourish in his breakout 2025 season coming off a trade from Pittsburgh, where his career got off to a rocky start.
