Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told the team's website that Dallas wants to keep George Pickens for 'a long time,' and will take a step toward that by placing the franchise tag on the Pro Bowl wide receiver, ESPN reported on Saturday.
Per the report, the fully guaranteed tag -- which can be applied from Feb. 17 to March 3 -- will cost the Cowboys approximately $28 million.<
