The Georgia product came up big in Week 4 with eight catches for 134 yards, and now he put the icing on the cake of the Week 5 victory over the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>If Pickens can continue playing like this, the Cowboys are going to have a tough decision to make in 2026, as Pickens is set to hit free agency next offseason.<\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s a long way to go before a decision needs to be made and the Cowboys will hope Pickens makes it hard on them because that means he had a good season.<\/p>\n<h2>More NFL News<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens broke a franchise record when he recorded his fifth touchdown of the season in the Week 5 shellacking of the New York Jets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":103391,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[87,89,54,306,1207,27,2640,974,3864],"class_list":["post-103390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-ceedee-lamb","tag-dak-prescott","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-george-pickens","tag-new-york-jets","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-sauce-gardner","tag-the-cowboys","tag-touchdown"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
