“Oh, no, not really. 'Cause the game will be the game. Money is kind of tied to it,” he said, adding, “you've got to do the job to the best of your ability.” The Cowboys placed a $27.3 million franchise tag on Pickens to prevent him from hitting free agency. He is likely to earn an average salary of $40 million per year on his next contract.
