George Pickens plans to attend Cowboys' mandatory minicamp
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has not participated in voluntary offseason activities but plans to attend the mandatory minicamp starting tomorrow.
- Pickens signed a one-year, $27.3 million franchise tag, which allows the Cowboys to fine him $107,911 if he misses the full mandatory minicamp.
- Despite not joining voluntary workouts, Pickens intends to avoid fines by attending the mandatory sessions and is not simply allowing salary deductions.
- Pickens had a strong season last year and could negotiate a long-term contract with the Cowboys to reduce this year's cap hit and gain more security.
- The Cowboys and Pickens have until one month from now to finalize a long-term deal; otherwise, he will play under the franchise tag and become a free agent in 2027.
