"The franchise tag remains a likely option in the short term, but it's far from ideal. Tagging a wide receiver carries a massive one-year cap hit and offers no long-term security for either side. A multi-year deal, properly structured, would be far more beneficial. Pickens gives Dallas something defenses must account for on every snap: a physical, vertical threat who can win one-on-one matchups and stretch coverage. His presence tilts safety alignments and creates space underneath, making life easier for the entire offense."
"Locking him in beyond 2026 ensures offensive continuity and avoids the constant churn that comes from patching together wide receiver rooms each year. RB Javonte Williams The running back market has cooled, but effective backs still matter; especially for teams that want balance. Williams brings power, contact balance, and reliability between the tackles. He helps close games, shortens third downs, and prevents the offense from becoming one-dimensional."
Jerry needs to spend this offseason to secure key offensive pieces. The franchise tag for George Pickens remains likely but is financially suboptimal because of a large one-year cap hit and lack of long-term security. A properly structured multi-year deal for Pickens would provide continuity and exploit his physical vertical skill set that forces safety adjustments and creates underneath space. Locking Pickens beyond 2026 avoids annual receiver turnover. Javonte Williams still provides power, contact balance, and reliability between the tackles. Retaining Williams preserves offensive identity, helps close games, shortens third downs, and keeps defenses honest while the cap grows.
