Cowboys Confirm It: Their Rising Star Is Set to Land a Massive $35 Million-Per-Year Contract
Cowboys Star Set for “Blockbuster” $35 Million-Per-Year Deal After Back-to-Back Explosive Performances vs. Eagles and Chiefs
FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys are sending shockwaves through the league once again, as momentum builds toward a blockbuster long-term deal for their rising star. Multiple ESPN insiders report that George Pickens could soon land a $35 million-per-year contract, a deal that would instantly place him among the NFL’s elite receivers.
Pickens — only 23 years old — isn’t just flashing potential. After back-to-back statement performances against two of the league’s toughest opponents, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, he has officially arrived as a true offensive force.

Against the Eagles, Pickens took center stage. His precise route running, physical catch-point wins, and ability to create separation made him nearly impossible to cover. Every contested catch or deep shot thrown his way ignited the stadium.
Then came the Chiefs game — the performance that truly pushed him into superstar territory. Pickens torched the defending champions with explosive downfield plays and showed undeniable chemistry with quarterback Dak Prescott. Every time Prescott sent the ball deep, the crowd knew Pickens had a real chance to haul it in.
It didn’t take long for analysts across the NFL to speak up:
“Pickens is playing like someone who deserves $35 million a year. If he keeps this up, there’s no reason for the Cowboys not to lock in a long-term deal.”
A Franchise-Shifting Decision Awaits
Pickens is still on his rookie contract, but the value he’s bringing — and the pressure from all sides — has forced the Cowboys into a pivotal choice:
-
Either secure a long-term deal now, locking him in as their WR1 for years to come,
Or place the franchise tag on him next season, expected to cost around $28–30 million — a risky move if his upward trajectory continues.
Inside the building, Dallas knows the truth: letting a young talent like Pickens slip away — especially with the chemistry he’s developing with Prescott — would be a massive mistake. A new deal would elevate him into the same financial tier as elite receivers like Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill, and A.J. Brown.
The Future Is Wide Open — and Full of Promise
If negotiations go smoothly, Pickens won’t just be another rising star. He has the tools and the mentality to become a long-term cornerstone of the franchise and possibly reshape the Cowboys’ offensive identity for years. Given the explosive growth he’s shown this season, it’s not unrealistic to imagine him becoming a true Dallas legend.
