The franchise tag remains a likely option in the short term, but it's far from ideal. Tagging a wide receiver carries a massive one-year cap hit and offers no long-term security for either side. A multi-year deal, properly structured, would be far more beneficial. Pickens gives Dallas something defenses must account for on every snap: a physical, vertical threat who can win one-on-one matchups and stretch coverage. His presence tilts safety alignments and creates space underneath, making life easier for the entire offense.

It's a great moment for David Raya, a great moment for Arsenal in general. He signed a new deal at the club, technically it's just improved but he's not gonna change the length of his contract still valid until June 2028. But I think this is part of what I'm hearing of a clear Arsenal strategy to have everyone very happy in the dressing room.
