"Last night, the Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from playoff contention after the Philadelphia Eagles' win over the Washington Commanders. While that was an inevitable end to their chances, this season isn't over, especially for George Pickens. The 24-year-old, whose rookie contract ends after Week 18 concludes, exceeded all expectations as a Cowboy for nearly the entirety of the 2025 campaign."
"Pickens leads Dallas in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, while also appearing in the top-three league-wide in the yardage category. It has been a true breakout season that was going as well as it could, up until a few weeks ago. Recently, the former Georgia Bulldog has struggled to replicate his production, and we've seen some of the more personal concerns that Pittsburgh had during his tenure there."
George Pickens emerged as the Cowboys' primary receiver in 2025, leading the team in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns while ranking among the league's top three in receiving yards. The 24-year-old's rookie contract ends after Week 18, and his early-season production averaged 95.2 yards per game across twelve games. Over the last two games he totaled 70 combined yards, a 60.2 yards-per-game decrease, and his catch rate fell from 64.9% to 53.3%. Dallas lost both contests, and the closing weeks will affect Pickens' performance assessment and contract outlook.
