The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly expected to place a franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, a move that could either secure his future with the team or open the door for a potential trade. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed his desire for Pickens to remain with the team long-term, despite trade discussions circulating within the league. Reports indicate that the franchise tag could be valued at approximately $28 million. While there is mutual interest between the Cowboys and Pickens regarding contract extension talks, the possibility of a tag-and-trade situation remains viable as the team navigates its offseason priorities.
