How likely do you think it is that the Cowboys give George Pickens an extension?
It’s only a couple of short weeks before the Dallas Cowboys head out to Oxnard, California to begin training camp for the 2025 NFL season. The Cowboys will bring along George Pickens, the wide receiver from the Pittsburgh Steelers that the team acquired in a trade that was essentially for a third-round pick.
Pickens comes to Dallas on the final year of his rookie contract. When the trade was made and in the weeks after, it became obvious that the team was going to wait on any kind of discussion around a new contract until after the 2025 season. That leaves Pickens as a possible one-year rental.
Is that the Cowboys’ plan? Or are they just waiting to see how he does in the offense until making a move to secure his services long-term? There are so many ways this could go from Pickens having a poor season and the Cowboys letting him walk, to the team signing him to a long-term contract of high value. There are also possibilities of franchise-tagging him as a free agent after a good season or letting him go to get a compensatory pick. There are so many options.
The team will be influenced by how the season goes, so it is very hard to say what the outcome of the situation will be. But that has never stopped us from asking questions.
So today, we ask a simple question – Will George Pickens be on the Cowboys roster for the 2026 season?
