"Most notably the Cowboys let the CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott contract extensions drag through training camp. The former got his deal after the team returned home from Oxnard while the latter received his on the literal day that the season (2024) began."
"Given that George Pickens is up for a new deal there are plenty of people who are claiming that they have seen this movie before. The Cowboys will drag this to the eleventh hour in the exact same way, but even if they do it is important to note that it cannot be like the recent Lamb, Prescott, and Parsons examples."
"July 15th: At 4:00 p.m. ET, deadline for any club that designated a Franchise Player to sign such player to a multiyear contract or extension."
The Dallas Cowboys have a documented history of delaying contract negotiations with star players, notably extending CeeDee Lamb after training camp, Dak Prescott on opening day 2024, and trading Micah Parsons a week before the 2025 season began. George Pickens faces a similar situation, but with a critical difference: if the Cowboys franchise tag him before the March 3rd deadline, they must complete a long-term deal by July 15th at 4 PM ET or the contract becomes locked until after the 2026 season. This hard deadline prevents the Cowboys from employing their typical strategy of dragging negotiations through training camp.
