George Pickens, a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, has decided to sign his franchise tag tender, guaranteeing him $27.3 million for the upcoming season. This decision comes a day after the team announced it would not negotiate a long-term deal with Pickens. The Cowboys are now eligible to trade Pickens before the NFL draft, although there have been no trade discussions with other teams. Executive Vice President Stephen Jones stated that the organization's upper brass had informed Pickens' agent, David Mulugheta, that they would not engage in contract talks.
