"Pickens, who the Cowboys placed the tag on over a month ago, has not yet signed it or agreed to a long-term deal with Dallas, but I mean, at the end of the day, $28 million dollars is no joke, but he wants his money."
"Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked whether he has an assurance from Pickens to attend the offseason program. 'No, and I haven't pushed that on him,' Schottenheimer said, via the team website."
"The Cowboys have not had discussions with Pickens' representatives regarding a multiyear deal after placing the $27.3 million tag on the receiver."
"Let me tell you right now, no team is going to agree to a deal with him and give up two first round picks, so all of this is in limbo."
George Pickens, the franchise-tagged wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, has not signed his tag or agreed to a long-term deal. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed he has no assurance of Pickens' attendance at the upcoming offseason program. The Cowboys have not engaged in discussions for a multiyear deal since placing the $27.3 million tag on him. Pickens' situation is reminiscent of Dez Bryant's, where a large contract did not guarantee long-term success with the team. Despite uncertainties, Pickens had a successful career year last season without participating in the offseason program.
