"The Cowboys rallied from 21 points down to pull off a 24-21 win over the NFC East rival Eagles on Sunday. Wide receiver George Pickens was among the driving forces behind the team's stunning comeback. The first-year Cowboy hauled in nine of Dak Prescott's passes for the second game in a row, racked up 146 yards, and scored a touchdown."
"After a productive three-year run in Pittsburgh, which traded him in May, Pickens has found another gear with a change of scenery. The 24-year-old ranks second in the NFL in yards (1,054), third in TDs (a career-high eight), and eighth in catches (67, also a personal best). With Pickens scheduled to reach free agency in the offseason, he's enjoying a breakout year at the right time."
"The tag would cost the Cowboys around $28MM, but it appears they'd be willing to make a longer commitment. The two sides have not begun contract talks, according to Rapoport, but a tagged Pickens would be eligible for an extension until July 2026. That would give team and player a few months to work something out. The Cowboys haven't used the tag on a receiver since Dez Bryant in March 2015."
George Pickens sparked a Cowboys comeback with nine receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown in a 24-21 win over the Eagles. Pickens, 24, was traded from Pittsburgh in May and ranks second in the NFL in yards with 1,054, third in touchdowns with a career-high eight, and eighth in catches with 67. Pickens is scheduled for free agency this offseason, but Dallas is expected to place the franchise tag if a long-term deal is not reached. The tag would cost around $28 million and allows an extension window through July 2026. Neither Pickens nor his agents prefer the tag, and trading him for picks remains a possible fallback.
