The Dallas Cowboys and star wide receiver George Pickens are reportedly making "good progress" on a long-term contract extension, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The update comes as the NFL world descends on Indianapolis for the 2026 NFL Combine, where contract negotiations often take center stage. Pickens is coming off a dominant 2025 breakout campaign in which he recorded 93 receptions for 1,429 yards, establishing himself as a premier vertical threat. Alongside CeeDee Lamb, Pickens has become a focal point of the Dallas offense, and the team is eager to secure his services for the foreseeable future.
The Cowboys have already been active this offseason, recently securing running back Javonte Williams to a three-year extension. Per @RapSheet, the two sides are working to finalize a deal before the March 3 franchise tag deadline. Securing Pickens to a long-term agreement now would provide the front office, led by Stephen Jones, with significantly more salary cap flexibility as they continue to build the 2026 roster.
Negotiations are expected to continue throughout the week in Indianapolis as both parties aim to reach an agreement. Pickens has expressed a desire to remain with the franchise following the team's successful 2025 season.
