Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is living a dream in 2025. Considering how great a season he is having this year with 764 receiving yards and six touchdowns, the 24-year-old receiver is bound to get a lucrative contract once his contract ends. And if his latest message is any indication, Pickens is already embracing the lifestyle of a man destined for a $100 million-plus contract.

“U can always rely on ya Rich uncle from öff da ea$t $ide to bring thee vibes everytime he breeze 🌬️ by – $pittta 🥷🏾💈 VRU🖤,” the Cowboys’ receiver wrote in the caption of his Instagram post on November 8.

The post also had many photos and videos. Some showed him making his moves against the rivals on the field. Others showed him celebrating his touchdowns.

In 2025, George Pickens came up with his best performance. In 9 games (all starters), he has 49 receptions for 764 yards and 6 touchdowns. That’s the highest number of scores in his four-year career. He also looks set to eclipse his record of highest receptions (63) and receiving yards (1140) in 2023.

When CeeDee Lamb was not out because of the high ankle sprain, he emerged as their WR1. In the Week 4 game against the Green Bay Packers, he helped them draw the game with 8 receptions for 134 yards and 2 scores. That’s impressive! Even their owner and GM, Jerry Jones, praised him, saying that Pickens could get a multi-million dollar extension next year. But it’s too early to say anything.

And Pickens is already on a track to get a multi-million contract; his “rich” IG post seems more like a reply to the league.

NFL fines George Pickens for taunting

In Week 2 against the New York Giants, Dallas’ WR earned two separate fines. The league fined him $14,491 for removing his helmet and $14,491 for making a violent gesture after celebrating a touchdown with Lamb. Then, in Week 7, he was fined $11,593 for taunting following a deep catch against Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore. He just added another fine in the 2025 season.

In Week 9, he once again drew attention from the NFL for his on-field behavior. George Pickens taunted Arizona Cardinals cornerback Denzel Burke by holding the ball out toward him after a play. Officials immediately flagged him for unsportsmanlike conduct, and the league followed up with a $17,389 fine later in the week. His total fines for the season now stand at $57,964.

As for now, the Dallas Cowboys stand at 3-5-1 after a 27-17 defeat to the Cardinals, and they will play the LV Raiders next on November 17. And Pickens’ form is paramount for the Cowboys if they want to play postseason games. Do you think Pickens will be able to control his anger and continue his good form?
