Cowboys Place Franchise Tag on WR George Pickens

February 27, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The Dallas Cowboys have placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on star wide receiver George Pickens to retain his services for the 2026 season.

The non-exclusive tag allows other teams to negotiate with Pickens, though Dallas can match any offers. The fully guaranteed tag value of approximately $28 million will impact the team's salary cap for 2026. This decision comes after the deadline passed, locking in the former Pittsburgh Steeler who led the Cowboys with 1,429 receiving yards and nine touchdowns last season.
