George Pickens headlines Cowboys' list of 2026 pending free agents
"The season is over for the Dallas Cowboys which means that they are fully in offseason mode. Much will be said by the team's leadership about how they want to avoid a season like 2025 (and 2024 for that matter) moving forward which means that there is work to be done. One of the first points of work for the Cowboys will be tending to their set-to-be free agents."
"RFA: These players can negotiate deals with other teams, but the Cowboys can offer them "tenders" that would force an external team to pay a draft pick if they agree to a deal with the player in question ERFA: If the Cowboys offer these players a one-year deal at the league minimum based on their credited seasons then the player in question cannot even negotiate with another team, these players are basically a lock to say if the Cowboys want"
The Dallas Cowboys enter the offseason needing to manage several players who will hit free agency. The team traditionally retains players it values and will evaluate which free agents to re-sign, tender, or let negotiate externally. Free-agent types include UFAs with fully expiring contracts, RFAs who can be tendered to require draft compensation, and ERFAs who can be signed to one-year minimum deals that prevent external negotiation. The franchise or transition tag decision is due by March 3 at 4pm ET, with certain names, such as George Pickens, worth monitoring.
