The Cowboys Next Move Feels Like a George Pickens Extension

[blueblood70]

CD is going to get paid again after the 2027 season anyway. He doesn't care about making less for one year.

These players and their agents also aren't stupid. They understand that contract value is driven by cap, so lesser players make more all the time.

I disagree with the premise. I get what you’re trying to do here, but there’s no way I’d pay George Pickens more than CeeDee Lamb while he’s a Cowboy. If you want to make CeeDee Lamb money or JSN money, then carry a team on your own and prove you can do it. It’s not just about disrespected this team, with all its current holes, can’t afford to pay two receivers top five money.

No other team in the league is doing that right now. Maybe three teams have two starters making big money at receiver, but even then, there’s a clear gap between them, and that gap needs to exist here too. Thinking he should make more than CeeDee Lamb just so Lamb can get even more later isn’t good for the Cowboys.

Stop thinking like a player and think about the cap, it exists. Even if you break it or go all-in, you still don’t pay two players at the same position top five money. It just doesn’t work.

It’s ironic that Seattle paid JSN, but on the other side there was a diminished Cooper Kupp and a younger player, that’s it. They didn’t need two top five wide receivers, and Sam Darnold isn’t better than Prescott.

What they did have was a deep defense, built by committee, without needing stars like Parsons or Garrett. It was true team defense and team offense, without one highly paid player preventing them from building the rest of the roster.

Around here, we say you can’t be top-heavy without proper depth, and focusing on having two top five receivers at the expense of the team is just ridiculous.

I’m fine with keeping George Pickens if he’s willing to take around 32 for maybe three years, so he can come back to the table later.

The Cowboys have a short window with Prescott, and we don’t know how long he’ll be here. You’re right, CeeDee Lamb’s contract will be up, and maybe by then Jerry decides to blow up the team, and they can all leave for all I care. Just like three years ago, I didn’t mind them all leaving, but once they signed Lamb, the rest should’ve been signed too.

As for this conversation, I’m missing parts because it’s getting too heated and moving too fast, almost like a chat room I can’t keep up with.

But I’m not paying George Pickens more than CeeDee Lamb in any situation. He can play under the tag and leave if that makes him happy, bye bye. I’m not losing sleep over it because we still have an elite wide receiver, and that’s all you need. WR2 can be filled with someone else, a vet, through the draft, or even with guys like Flournoy stepping up.

We don’t need to pay Pickens a ridiculous amount.

 

[jazzcat22]

The Cowboys could choose to trade Pickens outside the parameters of the franchise tag. In that case they can field offers like any trade.

What I’m not sure about - has Pickens signed the tag offer? Someone else may know. If he has it may bind what can happen. I just don’t know the answer to that.

I do not believe he signed it yet. It would be top news if he did.
And melt downs and hoorays galore from different fans.

It would be another mega thread.

A contract would need to be offered, and Pickens agrees. Then a trade offer made. Then Dallas and say yea or no, or make a counter offer.
What a team can't do is have a poison pill in the offer.
So Pickens would need to sign the tag, then they can make the trade, then he signs his new contract.
I do not believe they can simply trade him under the tag, then the tag goes to the new team. That defeats the entire purpose.

Dalls holds all the cards here. They can simply say no, match the offer, or say no, we want the 2 1st round picks, not a 2nd round that you offered. Or they can take the 2nd round, which would be very stupid of them.

If you want to make CeeDee Lamb money or JSN money, then carry a team on your own and prove you can do it. It’s not just about disrespected this team, with all its current holes, can’t afford to pay two receivers top five money.

Doesn't matter, market dictates it.

Pickens at ~$38m would be less as a percentage of the cap than CD got at time of signing.

CD probably won't be top-5 money, by AAV, in 2027 by the time a Pickens extension starts. Actually - he almost certainly won't. Pickens, Nacua, Olave, and London will likely all surpass $34m.

 

[Stash]

Dead money isn't necessarily a bad thing though. It certainly can be, but often times it's not. Its the extreme situations that you want to avoid, unless you're a true rebuild team like Miami is currently doing.

Just a made up overly simple example, but If I save on average $15M against the cap in both 2026 and 2027 by extending a player I can roll over up to $30m in cap to 2028. If a player is underperforming and I have to take a $20m hit to let that player go once I have a realistic out I'm still up $10m from the rollover money. Even if I spend part of the money saved in 2026 & 2027 its possible I can still break even or close to it while upgrading other roster spots in the process.

I’m not following your math. How can you extend and ‘save’ $30 million but it only costs you $20 million later when you cut the guy?

Franchise tags are typically bad for all involved except for the owners pocket. It allows the owners to give the impression they are spending big bucks on the roster while it really just eats cap space so they can avoid being more aggressive in free agency. Its the Jones playbook they've used for years now with star players and even cheaper players to exploit the cash spend amounts while generally paying less out of pocket than most other franchises.

You can’t ‘rework’ everyone’s deals. It’s unmanageable. And you end up stuck in a bad contract with a player who’s not worth it, or you’re cutting guys and taking huge dead money hits.

 

[thunderpimp91]

That’s not how it works, you can’t project something like that until we actually see it happen. He hasn’t proven he can do it on his own. Show me 115 catches, 15 touchdowns, and 1,700 yards, and then I’ll agree he deserves that money.

Until then, it’s just projection, and it’s not true until it happens. We saw it with CeeDee Lamb, even though that offense was a mess, bad scheme, bad play calling, no real running game, no tight end, and no legitimate No. 2 receiver. Yet Prescott and Lamb still lit up the league. Don’t tell me it can happen, show me.

It’s strange to say it can’t happen but also admit it’s rare, which is exactly why it’s called a record.

Right now, CeeDee Lamb holds the all-time mark, just like DeMarco Murray did. Not Emmitt Smith, not Zeke, not Tony Dorsett. That was the year Murray proved he could carry a team. As a running back, he got lowballed here, went to Philadelphia, and unfortunately, that move ended up sinking his career.

The point is, until you show me, don’t talk, because that’s what you’re doing, speaking for him, making assumptions and projections, and that’s not how it works. If it did, then players like Saquon Barkley and others who had record years, but not with the Giants, wouldn’t need to prove themselves again the following season.

The issue is that looking at generic stats like catches/yards/TDs is a very outdated way of evaluating players. Just because a team force feeds a player touches or they play an abnormally high amount of snaps doesn't make that player good.

On the flip side someone like Pickens should not be punished for his 2024 Pittsburgh stat line:

2024 Pickens

• 64/987/4 stat line
• 467 routes ran

2025 Pickens

• 93/1429/9
• 609 routes ran

So in 2024 he had about 30% less production than in 2025, but also played about 25% fewer snaps. If we take his same stat line from 2024 in Pittsburgh and adjust it to the same number of opportunities he had in 2025 you get roughly:

• 80 catches
• 1225 yards
• 5 TDs

So really the upgrade from Pittsburgh's offense to the Cowboy's offense seemed to have an impact, but not nearly as much as the generic counting stats would suggest. Pickens numbers from 2023 & 2024 suggest he is a legitimate WR1.

 

[blueblood70]

Doesn't matter, market dictates it.

Pickens at ~$38m would be less as a percentage of the cap than CD got at time of signing.

His market is zero, no offers, just the tag, and that’s the reality right now.

Stop trying to project what it might be; it hasn’t been set because no one has made him a single offer. It’s pretty sad no team offered the Cowboys a third-round pick for him, the same price they paid, especially since teams can make any offer and aren’t required to give up two firsts. The fact that there hasn’t been a single offer since the league year began says a lot. If he wants to play for the Cowboys, his market is the tag or much lower than $38 million. If he doesn’t want to play on the tag, how much money is he willing to lose? The Cowboys could tag him again next year if he chooses to be stubborn. I don’t mind players trying to get more money like Brandon Aubrey, but at some point, you’ve got to wake up and smell the coffee.


The market is defined by what teams decide, and right now the Cowboys say he’s worth the tag value. Until they reach an agreement, there’s no way he’ll make more than CeeDee Lamb while he’s on this team, you can count on that.

Sure, we both have opinions, but the league has spoken so far: not a single offer. And let me repeat, they don’t have to offer two first-round picks; teams can bring the Cowboys different deals to see if they’ll bite, and the Cowboys have the right to accept less.

If you don’t understand, the tag sets the market right now, that’s what he’s playing on, until he accepts reality.

As long as he’s a Cowboy, he’s not making $38 million this year, and maybe not even next year. He’ll need to be a clear number one wide receiver on a team desperate for one. For example, if New England really needed a receiver, they might trade for A.J. Brown, but if that’s the case, why haven’t they gone after George Pickens?

It seems like it’s almost a done deal, though still just rumors, that AJ Brown will be traded to New England since they need a single wide receiver. They don’t think Stefon Diggs can deliver two years in a row, but really, you only need one top guy.

The Cowboys already have theirs in CeeDee Lamb, and you can build around that. If you’ve got one, you’re fine—you’re not desperate to pay $38 million for George Pickens. What I don’t get is why the rest of the league has stayed silent, no first-round pick, no couple of seconds, nothing, not a single offer.

Maybe that changes, but for now, based on the current situation, he’s going to be playing under the tag, which, let’s be honest, is a whole lot less than $38 million.

Really good article. Gets into the salary cap too.

The Cowboys Next Move Feels Like a George Pickens Extension
April 21, 2026,
by Cody Warren

George Pickens contract extension alt text: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens celebrates with the football in his hand during a game, as questions grow about whether he will land a contract extension.

The Brandon Aubrey deal is finally finished, and that puts my focus exactly where it belongs now. George Pickens.

If the Cowboys want more breathing room before the draft class hits the books, this is the next logical move. I don’t think this should be too complicated because Dallas already made the decision to franchise tag him.

Now they need to finish the job. Aubrey is signed, and the draft class is coming. The cap space is needed to get all the rookies into camp.

This is simple; sign George Pickens long term or trade him. The balls in your court Cowboys front office.

Much more: https://insidethestar.com/the-cowboys-next-move-feels-like-a-george-pickens-extension

Or maybe they draft a WR. This class is packed with them. Probably the strongest position group.

 

[blueblood70]

And melt downs and hoorays galore from different fans.

I do not believe they can simply trade him under the tag, then the tag goes to the new team. That defeats the entire purpose.

Dalls holds all the cards here. They can simply say no, match the offer, or say no, we want the 2 1st round picks, not a 2nd round that you offered. Or they can take the 2nd round, which would be very stupid of them.

We’ve been over this so many times it’s getting redundant, and honestly, I don’t even know why I’m getting pulled back into it again. Offers can still be made to George Pickens even if he hasn’t signed the tag, and it doesn’t have to be for a first-round pick. Yet, no offers have been made to the Cowboys, which says a lot. If they were interested, they could easily propose something like a first and a second, a first and a third, or even two firsts and two seconds. The fact that teams like New England, who clearly showed interest in A.J. Brown, haven’t made an offer for Pickens is telling. I don’t think they see him as a true top-flight, number one receiver. His market would likely be outside the top five, still a lot of money, probably somewhere between the fifth and tenth highest, around $29–32 million.

To me, that’s his market. The tag says it, but the league not going after him right now, even with the opportunity to make offers, should tell us what we need to know. Like with Brandon Aubrey, it was crickets at first, though he’s a kicker and that’s a different situation but once it was clear there were no offers, they went back to the table and got it done. This makes it more realistic that maybe the Cowboys and George Pickens can work something out.

 

[LouBrown]

His market is zero, no offers, just the tag, and that’s the reality right now

Yea no. You don't get to just ignore all context and say he has no market lol.

The reality is that for him to have any motivation to sign a long-term deal it has to be significant enough to a) outpace comps (i.e. Alec Pierce) and b) offset losses when the cap grows.

In a world where Alec Pierce makes $30m, Pickens is getting $40m as a UFA.

I did check and no, Pickens hasn’t signed the tag yet. The team has until July 15 to negotiate an extension. If they can’t, I think Pickens is bound by the terms of the tag.

What’s interesting is his agent, David Mulugheta, (Parsons agent) has never had a client play on the tag. The last big name he had potentially on the tag was Jalen Ramsey, and that ended in a big trade fro the jags to the rams.

Interesting that no client under DM has ever played under the tag. They have all either signed an extension or been traded. I expect that to remain true here as well. Probably signs an extension. But if not, probably a trade.

 

[Kingofholland]

True. I just feel Pickens and the agent will hold out for the max deal. It won't end well and hurts the entire team in camp. Distractions.

Absolutely that's a concern and I don't think Pickens cares where he's at as long as he gets paid. Maybe the budding relationship with Ceedee makes him feel different though?

The Cowboys were smart to place a nonexclusive tag as I think it's likely Pickens will find that teams aren't as willing to hand out a long term top money deal to him so maybe that leads him to play on the franchise tag or settle for a little less on a longer term deal with the Cowboys. It is a good sign though that Pickens had put in work with Dak in the offseason because even if he does miss time holding out atleast he already had that chemistry built.

 

[blueblood70]

Yea no. You don't get to just ignore all context and say he has no market lol.

The reality is that for him to have any motivation to sign a long-term deal it has to be significant enough to a) outpace comps (i.e. Alec Pierce) and b) offset losses when the cap grows.

In a world where Alec Pierce makes $30m, Pickens is getting $40m as a UFA.

He is not in that position When you come to that reality come talk to me not a single offer was made to George Pickens so far nothing It's been crickets So his market right now is the tag there is no other market unless somebody makes an offer.. That's it i'm done with this we've been talking about this since he got with the Cowboys I know I said this was gonna happen and it's happening..

Saying this all offseason I'm sticking with it let me hear the other authors from other teams they're allowed to make offers even if he hadn't signed the tag there's not been any offers Not even for a 5th round pick not a 3rd round pick not one first Not a combo of any of those.. They do not have to offer the Cowboys 2 first let's be clear they can make any offer and the Cowboys can simply reject it..

The only offer he can't reject is if they offer 2 first that is for the tag but he hasn't signed the tag but I'm sure he will sign the tag if a team would come out and say they would offer him fair value to the Cowboys and that they're willing to pay him his 38..

Show me this market he asked not one team has made an offer that means his market is what the cowboy offered him which would be the tag.

No one is saying if the man was a true free agent and had his choice that he wouldn't get 38 somewhere he might I wouldn't guarantee that but he might but he's not in that situation he's on a Cowboys team with already a top five paid wide receiver and therefore he should know his situation and I haven't heard anything from him and his agent giving a number that they're willing to listen to you know like a minimum number What is it?

You can't keep saying he has a market he is not a free agent he is not an unrestricted free agent he is under the tag and he is on a team that already has a clear top five wide receiver therefore his market here would be more like T Higgins with a little invasion added to it..31-32.. And if he signed a three year deal at that price with just fully guaranteed with restrictions you know that he doesn't get in some kind of big trouble gets suspended in the league or doesn't put up certain numbers etcetera etcetera Has to play so many games that he can earn that..

The three year deal he can get back to the table and become a full free agent he can add in that he's not allowed to be tagged or traded unless he approves I mean that would be fair for both sides i'm not saying we shouldn't go after George Pickens but your market the 38 is nowhere near what he can get right now because not a single team has offered it..


Why hasn't a team come forth and offered the Cowboys something realistic and then told George that they would give him his 35 to 38 or whatever you think his market is... You can't answer that because it hasn't happened i'm going by where we are right now and you're projecting there is no projections until there's another team willing to do it..

 

[blueblood70]

I did check and no, Pickens hasn’t signed the tag yet. The team has until July 15 to negotiate an extension. If they can’t, I think Pickens is bound by the terms of the tag.

Interesting that no client under DM has ever played under the tag. They have all either signed an extension or been traded. I expect that to remain true here as well. Probably signs an extension. But if not, probably a trade.

Actually, right now Kyle Pitts signed his tag and plans to play under it because Atlanta has said some things and I don't follow them like I follow the Cowboys but Kyle Pitts will be the first that means it can happen...

Where is he going Bob you say he's gonna be traded where not a single team has made an offer? You all that keep saying he's not playing under the tag and he will be traded if he doesn't get a long term deal The league year started a month ago Regardless if he signs the tag or not we've had this conversation other teams can make any offer and the Cowboys can reject it the only offer they can't reject is 2 firsts but they have a chance to match that well where are these offers you can offer whatever you want if it's valid you should bring it to the Cowboys and say we're interested in George Pickens but we only want to offer one first or one first and something else why have there been zero offers of any kind?

He has no trade partners yet so he can't be traded not a single offer has been made can we not agree to that there is no trade until somebody's interested in him and willing to pay him what he wants..

 

[visionary]

We are going to do it because it is the stupid thing to do if we want to win a SB but the right thing to do if we want to increase revenue and just stay relevant

Just trade him and take a WR with that pick in this deep WR draft

 

[vlad]

I assume franchise this year, he plays, next year, he holds out- then Jerry and Co happy cuz all offseason we have a new topic for all the talking heads to focus on. Rinse repeat.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I’m not following your math. How can you extend and ‘save’ $30 million but it only costs you $20 million later when you cut the guy?


You can’t ‘rework’ everyone’s deals. It’s unmanageable. And you end up stuck in a bad contract with a player who’s not worth it, or you’re cutting guys and taking huge dead money hits.

Because you're not reworking anything in that scenario, you're just lowering the guaranteed money on an annual basis under a long term agreement.

This is an over simplified example that doesn't account for signing bonuses, etc, but typically the bulk of dead cap money is just the guaranteed amount that hasn't been accounted for yet....or at least it is to my understanding if someone wants to correct me on that. Depending on what the signing bonus and total contract value are these numbers will change, but....

Lets say you sign him for $80m guaranteed over 4 years:

$20m/year average in guarantees

Year 1: $15m (compared to a $28m tag)
Year 2: $20m (compared to a $35m tag - I'm not sure what the actual 2027 tag would be? might be a little less?)
Year 3: $25m

=$60m total

Year4 : $20M cap hit after release, but you net a $28m gain in year 1 and 2 compared to the tag prices...maybe slightly less to be $25m.

You could pay a higher cap up front depending on the structure and eat less money on the back end if you want to. It would be less money saved to roll over compared to the tag savings, but also less dead money on the back end too.

I know this is overly simple and to some extent an inaccurate example because of the missing data points, but its simply a matter of $60m over 2 years ($30m avg) vs $80m over 4 years ($20m avg).

The back to back tag scenario simply doesn't add up to create value IMO because you're already paying the bulk of the contract value during those first two seasons.

 

[Reid1boys]

Some fans think they know the situation, but they really don’t. Many believe Jerry wants to overpay for players as part of some master plan, but that’s just not true. No billionaire I know has gotten to where they are by overpaying, they’re masters of negotiation, even if they lose occasionally.

There’s no way Jerry hasn’t thought these things through, especially with an entire front office team, practically an army, dedicated to contracts and the salary cap.

Some fans seem to think they haven’t tried locking players in early, but they know exactly where players’ heads are at. Lowball offers won’t work if the player and agent feel they have leverage, and they’ll use it to push the front office. I can’t fault them for trying, but I’m not going to blame Jerry for not getting deals done early.

They’ve done it before, like when they offered Brandon Aubrey a new contract last September, but no one gives them credit for that.

In this case, they basically agreed on the same deal, so it wasn’t far off and worked out for both sides. But just because it worked here doesn’t mean they can pull that off with every player. Around 90% of their signings have been done on time or early, and for the most part, it’s backfired on them… lol. Sometimes you have to play hardball. As for George Pickens, like I’ve said before in this thread — and we’ve talked about him all offseason,

I hope they’ve already told the Cowboys, “We’re not signing for less than,” then thrown out a number like 38.

That way, the Cowboys know right away they should look to the draft and try to trade him. Even if they can’t find a trade partner, at least they’d know he doesn’t want to be there and won’t be. You’ve got to try to get maximum draft capital , maybe not two first-rounders, but you can push for a first and a second, or a first and a third.

Put those offers out there and see if another team bites.

But here we are once again with a fan base like Phil and some of the other guys who really believe they know what's in the players and agents minds and don't realize that the rest of the league is already spoken just like Brandon Aubrey there wasn't a single offer They're saying this they're not worth what they believe themselves are demanding..

It’s pretty telling that George Pickens hasn’t received a single offer. Even if it wasn’t for two first-round picks, teams know they can make any offer, maybe a fifth or a third, or at least a first, or even a first and a third. The fact there’s been no offer at all suggests no team is willing to pay him what he’s asking right now. He can’t become a true free agent unless he forces his way off the team, and the Cowboys could tag him for two straight years.

The best move for both sides might be to agree now to play on the tag if they can’t settle on something like $38 million, or whatever the number ends up being.

That way, the Cowboys can head into the draft knowing whether they need to pick a receiver, while also making an effort to trade him during the draft. It doesn’t have to happen, but at least it would put them ahead of schedule, unlike with Parsons, when they thought they’d keep him, but things fell apart.

To get ahead this time, they should go into the draft sending out feelers and seeing if they can find a trade partner willing to give them as much as possible.

We are in win right now mode. Not next year, not the next. We have a few more solid years of dak... after that, who knows where we will be. You get pickens done now. You know what you have with him. Trade him and draft a WR, and you are HOPING it works out.

 

[blueblood70]

The issue is that looking at generic stats like catches/yards/TDs is a very outdated way of evaluating players. Just because a team force feeds a player touches or they play an abnormally high amount of snaps doesn't make that player good.

On the flip side someone like Pickens should not be punished for his 2024 Pittsburgh stat line:

2024 Pickens

• 64/987/4 stat line
• 467 routes ran

2025 Pickens

• 93/1429/9
• 609 routes ran

So in 2024 he had about 30% less production than in 2025, but also played about 25% fewer snaps. If we take his same stat line from 2024 in Pittsburgh and adjust it to the same number of opportunities he had in 2025 you get roughly:

• 80 catches
• 1225 yards
• 5 TDs

So really the upgrade from Pittsburgh's offense to the Cowboy's offense seemed to have an impact, but not nearly as much as the generic counting stats would suggest. Pickens numbers from 2023 & 2024 suggest he is a legitimate WR1.

There are plenty of legitimate WR1s, but that doesn’t mean they’re all worth top five money to teams. Here’s a stat for you: zero offers so far for George Pickens from any team. Even though he hasn’t signed the tag, any team can make an offer, and the Cowboys can simply decline. It would take two first-round picks to pry him away if the Cowboys didn’t match, but teams can still offer whatever they want. Yet we haven’t seen a single offer, not a fifth, a fourth, two seconds, a first, or any combination. That’s the market. Not every starting WR1 is making top five money, and certainly not on a team that already has a receiver earning that much. Common sense says his only market right now is the Cowboys under the tag.


It doesn’t matter what you think he might do if he ever lands on a team as a clear number one with a good quarterback and a strong offense, that remains to be seen. Right now, the reality is he has no offers.

He could play on the tag, but if he truly wants to be traded, why hasn’t there been any offers? Sure, a trade during the draft is possible, but teams like New England, who have serious interest in AJ Brown, don’t seem to have any interest in making an offer for George Pickens. I’m not saying I don’t want George here, but those who think he can make more than CeeDee Lamb while he’s a Cowboy and deserves it are way off—this just isn’t his market. His current market is either playing under the tag for under $28 million, signing for less here, or going through this same process again next year.

I’m not anti-George, but people need to stop thinking JSN’s contract changes anything. It doesn’t, especially while he’s a Cowboy. That deal means nothing. JSN already has a big ring, earned with Sam Darnold as quarterback, going to a Super Bowl with just an older version of himself, Cooper Kupp, and another young player.

That team didn’t have two top-five receivers, and they didn’t need i,just like we don’t. New England didn’t care either; they cut Stephon Diggs without hesitation, went to a Super Bowl, and didn’t think twice.

I’m just trying to keep things rooted in common sense. George doesn’t have many options right no,I haven’t heard of a single team showing interest. And when you’re a Dallas Cowboy, people invent stories out of thin air, creating smoke where there’s no fire. But in this case, there’s no smoke, no fabricated offers from either side, no media buzz, nothing.

Silence. Doesn’t that say something?

Agreed. We can argue his other issues, but talent isn't one of them. Even in Pittsburgh his counting stats weren't as good as in Dallas, but his deeper metrics were nearly just as good as he put up with the Cowboys. Hes a legit WR1 as long as his head is in a good place.

his head was in a bad place because of how horrible his qb play in steelerland was. Just like Jefferson and any other top wr is when they have a horrendous qb.

I meant before JSN signed my friend.

Yes, the market has now been set. Nothing holding them back now.
