Cowboys suspendem negociações de extensão de longo prazo com o WR George Pickens, que recebeu a franchise tag

O Dallas Cowboys pausou as negociações para uma extensão de contrato de longo prazo com o wide receiver George Pickens, que recebeu a franchise tag em fevereiro e jogará a temporada de 2026 com um salário totalmente garantido de US$ 27,3 milhões. O executivo Stephen Jones anunciou a decisão durante uma coletiva de imprensa pré-draft em Frisco, Texas, no dia 22 de abril, após a temporada de destaque de Pickens em 2025, vindo de uma troca com o Pittsburgh Steelers.

Stephen Jones confirmou que os Cowboys notificaram Pickens e seu agente, David Mulugheta, sobre a decisão de adiar as conversas sobre a extensão para depois da temporada de 2026. A franchise tag, aplicada no início deste ano como amplamente esperado, garante a permanência de Pickens por US$ 27,3 milhões em meio à sua rápida ascensão em Dallas ao lado de CeeDee Lamb. Jones traçou paralelos com situações anteriores envolvendo as tags de Dak Prescott e Tony Pollard, onde acordos de longo prazo foram firmados posteriormente. O técnico Brian Schottenheimer elogiou a postura do recebedor de 25 anos e sua influência no vestiário, declarando: 'A influência que ele exerce neste vestiário é muito poderosa porque ele ama muito jogar futebol americano'. Este desenvolvimento desloca o foco dos rumores anteriores de renovação para o desempenho sob a tag.
