Cowboys' George Pickens trade window closes as long-term deal slips away

With the deadline for a long-term deal having passed, the practical window to trade George Pickens is effectively closed. Any potential trade would bring a one-year $27.3 million contract and the possibility to tag him again in 2027, but teams would be reluctant to acquire him without a long-term commitment. The Cowboys may still drag their feet into January and beyond, and by 2027 Dallas will face a critical choice between Pickens and CeeDee Lamb, with next year’s tag significantly below this year’s market.

Weak 2026 Free Agents Could Redraw the NHL’s Economics

The NHL faces an unusually weak unrestricted free-agent class in 2026 even as the cap jumps to a record $104 million, shifting value to average players and boosting the importance of the trade market. With stars locked into long-term, lower-value deals, teams will chase cost-efficient talent and may see more holdouts or aggressive trades as they try to maximize cap space. The result could reshape league dynamics for years, favoring teams able to maneuver via deals rather than high-profile signings.

Breer's One-and-Only 2026 NFL Mock Draft Signals a Trade-Heavy, Uncertain Year

Albert Breer unveils his single 2026 NFL Mock Draft, arguing the top of the board lacks clear premium prototypes and that teams are already trading down to gain future capital; he predicts a wave of moves from early picks through the middle of the first round as teams jockey for fit, then lays out a full 32-pick projection (1–32) including Mendoza to the Raiders, Bailey to the Jets, Love to Arizona, Styles to Washington, Downs to the Giants, and a host of others, noting the draft should be entertaining and volatile even if the top-end talent isn’t overwhelming; Breer also teases a live Round 1 stream with Conor Orr.

Nationals Trade Gore as Market Heats Up, Weekend Fan Events Loom

Three quick takeaways as the winter rumor mill heats up: the Nationals signal a rebuild by trading MacKenzie Gore to the Rangers for a prospect package headlined by Gavin Fien, with CJ Abrams and Jacob Young also in the mix as potential trade chips; with Gore and Freddy Peralta already off the board, the pool of tradable players narrows to depth pieces and position players like Kris Bubic, Brendan Donovan, and Isaac Paredes as teams weigh next moves; and teams are hosting fan events this weekend ahead of Spring Training, though weather forced cancellations for the Rangers and Orioles, with Twins, Astros, Rockies and Pirates events on the schedule.
