The Dallas Cowboys have an interesting situation brewing when it comes to wide receiver George Pickens.

The Cowboys have already made it clear they do not intend on giving Pickens a contract extension and now the veteran wide receiver will have to play on the franchise tag in 2026, a tag he reportedly intends to sign at some point .

But even if he signs the franchise tag, there is no telling if Pickens will choose to hold out and demand a trade.

If that happens, the Cowboys definitely have some leverage here , as FOX Sports' Chris Broussard points out. He believes Pickens is a luxury for Dallas and not someone the team needs to be successful.

“He has no leverage. The Cowboys do not need George Pickens," Broussard stated. "He’s a luxury… We just gotta fix our defense, because we’re gonna put up 27 points a game with or without you.”
