CeeDee Lamb Urges Cowboys to Retain George Pickens Amid Contract Talks
The Dallas Cowboys are recognized for having one of the top wide receiver duos in the NFL, featuring CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, both ranked among the league's best.
After a successful first season together, Pickens is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Following a standout performance in 2025, where he achieved 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and five touchdowns, the Cowboys opted to franchise-tag him to prevent him from entering free agency.
Lamb is advocating for the team to secure Pickens for the long term, expressing his desire to maintain their partnership and contribute to the team's success. While Lamb is already one of the highest-paid receivers, the Cowboys face challenges in managing their salary cap, especially with other key players like Dak Prescott and Quinnen Williams also needing contract considerations. The outcome of these negotiations will depend on Pickens' performance this season.
