ESPN's contract prediction regarding a Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowler suggests that wide receiver George Pickens might depart the team next offseason. After a strong 2025 season with 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns, the Cowboys opted to franchise-tag Pickens instead of negotiating an extension. Contract discussions have been paused until after the 2026 season. If Dallas commits to a significant contract extension for defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, it could further jeopardize Pickens' future with the team.
