George Pickens projected to remain with Cowboys in early free-agent landing projections

Cbssports projects landing spots for the NFL's top 50 free agents, with wide receiver George Pickens expected to remain with the Dallas Cowboys.

Pickens is listed No. 1 after a breakout 93-catch, 1,429-yard season that earned him All-Pro honors, and the piece notes Jerry Jones has expressed a desire to keep him. The projections also highlight other potential moves, including Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens (after Baltimore finished 31st in sack rate), Daniel Jones to the Colts and center Tyler Linderbaum to the Chargers, while Aaron Rodgers is listed as retirement.

The write-up calls the list an early look ahead of the legal tampering window and reminds readers that 10 head-coach vacancies remain (six have been filled), with the Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders still searching. It says the legal tampering period begins March 9 at noon ET and that coaching hires and roster moves could change the market or lead some players to re-sign before then.
