Overview
- Dallas faces a near-term call to either apply the projected $28.046 million wide receiver franchise tag to George Pickens or pursue a multi-year agreement.
- Market estimates from Spotrac and Bleacher Report place Pickens’ free-agent value around $122–$124 million over four years.
- Reports identify the Titans and Bills as plausible destinations if he reaches free agency, citing receiver needs and substantial cap flexibility.
- Commentary, including from ESPN’s Aaron Schatz, warns that a delayed move by Jerry Jones could increase the chance of Tennessee making a push.
