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.
