The Cowboys appear to be content with having Pickens play on the franchise tag, which he&#8217;s expected to receive at some point before the March 3 deadline to ensure he doesn&#8217;t hit free agency. That said, a long-term deal being struck at some point, whether it be during the combine or after, may benefit both sides. Pickens gets the long-term security of a deal, and the Cowboys may save some money on their cap in 2026. This week should tell us a lot about how that&#8217;s going to play out. It&#8217;s certainly not the only primary order of business for the coming week, as Brandon Aubrey&#8217;s future and getting to sit down with NFL Draft prospects are also very important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tommy: I&#8217;m with you that the conversations with George Pickens&#8217; representation are at the top of the list&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[7,417,4661,420,1901,6,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-780175","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-news-all-news","10":"tag-news-mailbag","11":"tag-news-patrik-walker","12":"tag-news-tommy-yarrish","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-nfl-draft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116143420029138597","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
