Cowboys Say No Teams Have Called About Trading George Pickens

A quiet market leaves only the draft or the July 15 deadline as true pressure points.

Overview

  • Stephen Jones said Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan that Dallas has received no trade inquiries for George Pickens, tempering weeks of outside speculation.
  • Pickens is on a non-exclusive franchise tag worth about $27.29 million for 2026, and there is no multiyear agreement in place.
  • Under the non-exclusive tag, other teams can sign him to an offer sheet that would cost two first-round picks if Dallas declines to match, and he must sign the tender to be traded.
  • Pickens posted an Instagram video saying “Year 5 gonna be another movie,” which signals he expects to play this season even as voluntary work begins with a minicamp on April 20 and OTAs on June 1.
  • The draft next week offers the clearest window for movement before the July 15 deadline, with Dallas weighing a new deal against existing big commitments to Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb after Pickens’ 2025 All-Pro breakout.
