"The Cowboys' most expensive decision in the 2026 offseason will come at wide receiver. Do they re-sign George Pickens for what is sure to be one of this year's most lucrative non-QB contracts? Do they utilize the franchise tag, which would cost them even more in salary cap space? Or do they let Pickens walk, losing one of their most important offensive weapons and creating a new, significant offseason need?"
"CeeDee Lamb - If Pickens does wind up on another roster in 2026, at least you still have a franchise WR to lean on. While it was a down year for Lamb, he still put up 75 catches, 1,077 yards, and three touchdowns. The contributing factors were logical: Pickens ate into his production, Jake Ferguson caught a lot more touchdowns than usual, and Lamb only played in 14 games."
The Cowboys face a pivotal wide receiver choice for 2026: re-sign George Pickens to a top non-QB contract, use the franchise tag at greater cap cost, or allow him to depart and create a major offseason need. CeeDee Lamb produced 75 catches, 1,077 yards and three touchdowns despite a down year influenced by Pickens' presence, increased Jake Ferguson touchdown totals, and Lamb appearing in 14 games. Ryan Flournoy emerged as a reliable third receiver, earning a two-year deal and presenting a potential WR2 option. KaVontae Turpin underperformed as a returner and receiver and carries a $4.7 million cap charge that could be partially saved if released. Jonathan Mingo has been supplanted on the depth chart and faces uncertain standing.
