For franchise-tagged players in the NFL, July 15 is the final chance to sign a long-term contract before the season begins. This can often lead to training camp holdouts leading into the regular season, but NFL Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed that – for once – it seems like the Dallas Cowboys won’t have to worry about that with one of their most important players.
Dallas placed the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens who signed it and has maintained he plans to play under the $27.3 million tag in 2026. Coming off of a career-high 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in his first season with Big D, Pickens said his focus is on helping bring a championship back to Dallas.
“I’m here to definitely help the team. I’m not thinking about the tag and all that,” he said at Cowboys mandatory minicamp.
“It’s football first.”
Despite the best season of Pickens’ career, Dallas missed the playoffs second-consecutive season and extended their infamous Super Bowl drought to 30 seasons. While he could still change his mind, fans should be excited to watch him in Year 2 of the Brian Schottenheimer era.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Pickens not only set a career-high in receiving yards last season but also finished as the Dallas Cowboys leading receiver. With that being said, can you name the players to lead each NFL team in receiving-yards for the 2025-26 season?
Good luck!
