Pickens reports to Cowboys minicamp, signals no holdout on franchise tag

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens reports for mandatory minicamp on the franchise tag and says he has no plans to hold out, aiming to be at training camp in July. He had skipped voluntary workouts per his agent, but coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed he’ll participate in walkthroughs and individual drills while avoiding team drills for now. Prescott will be limited in practice due to a sore knee, but the team expects him to be ready by camp.

Cowboys' George Pickens Serves as 'Coach Pickens' During Minicamp

George Pickens will skip team drills at the Cowboys’ mandatory minicamp and instead be “Coach Pickens,” focusing on individual work as the team limits exposure to injury. He signed the franchise tag in April and skipped the voluntary offseason program, facing a $107,911 fine for missing mandatory minicamp. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer says his presence shows commitment to the locker room, while Pickens remains on a one-year, $27.3 million tag as the club considers a longer deal after a Pro Bowl-caliber 2025 season (93 receptions, 1,429 yards, 9 TDs).

Pickens to Attend Cowboys Mandatory Minicamp Amid Franchise-Tag Talks

Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens plans to attend the team's mandatory minicamp after signing the franchise tag, avoiding a roughly $107,911 fine for missing mandatory activities. He hasn’t participated in voluntary offseason work, and the Cowboys and Pickens have about a month to reach a long-term contract; if no deal is reached, he’ll play on the one-year franchise tender in 2026 and become a free agent in 2027.

Cowboys expect Pickens to attend mandatory minicamp after OTAs absence

Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens did not attend the voluntary OTAs, but coach Brian Schottenheimer said he expects Pickens to be at the mandatory minicamp starting June 16; having signed his franchise tag, he could face fines for missing camp, and Dallas has said there will be no long-term contract talks before the July deadline and no plan to trade him, so he’ll likely play the season under the tag before pursuit of a new deal resumes afterward.

Cowboys Stand Pat on Pickens Tag as OTAs Kick Off

Dallas has no plans to extend or trade George Pickens this offseason and he remains on a one-year, $27.3 million franchise tag. Pickens signed the tender but skipped the voluntary workout, drawing optics ahead of mandatory OTAs and minicamp. He’s under contract for 2026 with $27.3M fully guaranteed and could face fines for missing mandatory activities, though the presence of his guaranteed money makes a return to the field likely.

Pickens Pushes for Trade or Extension as Cowboys Hold Franchise Tag

The Steelers moved George Pickens to Dallas to avoid a long-term contract battle, but now the Cowboys have him under a franchise tag while he pushes for either a long-term deal or a trade. His camp has even explored other teams, though nothing materialized yet. With Dallas reluctant to commit to a long-term contract, the ongoing tension risks becoming ugly and reflects the very scenario Pittsburgh aimed to dodge.

Pickens Remains Uncontracted as Cowboys Hold Franchise Tender

Pickens Remains Uncontracted as Cowboys Hold Franchise Tender

On the first day of the NFL draft, reports indicated Cowboys receiver George Pickens is expected to sign his one-year, $27.298 million franchise tender, but he has not yet accepted. Signing would put him under contract and expose him to fines for missing minicamps or training camp; accepting could also enable a trade. If a trade happens after July 15, the acquiring team cannot sign him to a multi-year deal. The Cowboys could tag him again at roughly a 20% higher figure (about $32.75 million), though that would still leave him well below market value, and a longer-term deal would only be possible with later negotiations.

Caleb Downs Heist: Cowboys land top safety and cement a winning draft night

Dallas pulled off a bold draft-night move, trading up to No. 11 to select Caleb Downs and then swapping down with the Eagles to gain two extra fourth-round picks before taking Malachi Lawrence at 23. The piece frames Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott as the big winners, with Downs set to start at nickel under Christian Parker, Liufau shifting to outside linebacker, and veterans like Malik Hooker possibly seeing reduced snaps. DaRon Bland and DeMarvion Overshown also benefit by avoiding immediate threats to their starting roles.
