Cowboys Tag George Pickens with Non-Exclusive Franchise Tag

The Dallas Cowboys have officially placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on star wide receiver George Pickens, securing his services for the upcoming season.

This move locks Pickens in at approximately $28 million against the cap, a fully guaranteed figure. He led the team with 1,429 receiving yards and nine touchdowns during his inaugural season in Dallas.

As a non-exclusive tag, Pickens is free to negotiate with other teams, though the Cowboys retain the right to match any offer. Prominent teammates have advocated for a long-term deal to avoid a potential bidding war.
