Cowboys fans split on whether George Pickens will be a one-year rental

The article discusses uncertainty around whether wide receiver George Pickens will remain with the Dallas Cowboys beyond the 2025 season. Predicting offseason moves before the season begins is acknowledged as difficult due to variables like injuries, team success, coaching changes, and individual performance.

It highlights that the Cowboys traded a third-round pick to acquire Pickens but did not extend his contract. Consequently, the 2025 season is the final year of his current deal, making him a potential free agent in 2026.

The article references a poll asking readers if Pickens would be on the Cowboys roster in 2026. The results showed a nearly even split: 48% voted yes, while 52% voted no, indicating a slight majority believe his tenure will be a one-year rental.

Numerous factors influencing Pickens' future are outlined: his performance level in the upcoming season; whether a strong season could make him too expensive for the Cowboys' known free agency spending habits; the financial challenge of affording two premier wide receivers after paying CeeDee Lamb; the potential use of the franchise tag; his fit within Dak Prescott's offense; and concerns about his temperament impacting his play.

The piece concludes by stating these questions remain unresolved as the team approaches training camp for the 2025 season and invites readers to share their predictions on Pickens' 2025 performance and his future with the Cowboys.
