What happened: George Pickens reported to the Dallas Cowboys for mandatory minicamp on Monday. The explosive wideout had previously been absent from voluntary workouts as he looks for a new contract while currently slated to play under the franchise tag.

Why it matters: While Pickens has elite physical tools, his consistency and production have not yet reached the level of the league's highest paid receivers. The Cowboys are right to be cautious before committing a huge percentage of their cap to a player who just arrived in town. A prove it year is the best move for the franchise.
