George Pickens to play 2026 season on franchise tag with Cowboys George Pickens will officially play the 2026 season on a $27.3 million franchise tag for the Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy Impact: Pickens and the Cowboys could not agree upon a long-term extension this summer, so he will head into the year effectively on a 1-year deal. The wideout is coming off a career year in which he hauled in 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. He will head into this season with Dallas firmly in the WR1 conversation in fantasy.
