If there's one prospective 2026 NFL free agent who has substantially increased his value in the 2025 season, it's Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens. Pickens has been outstanding for the Cowboys since coming over in the trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers after the 2025 NFL Draft, and he's poised to get paid a lot of money on the open market...if he gets there.
The Cowboys obviously balked at a big-money contract for pass rusher Micah Parsons before the start of the 2025 season, but that's not the mistake they are poised to potentially repeat with Pickens.
