Terrance Williams Will Not Be Picked Up By Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys could put the franchise tag on defensive end De Marcus Lawrence beginning Tuesday, but they apparently do not want to be forced into using that option.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Monday that the Cowboys hope to reach agreement with Lawrence on a long-term contract extension before the March 5 deadline for franchise tags.

The Cowboys tagged Lawrence last season, and he made $17.1 million.

-The Cowboys have elected to decline wide receiver Terrance Williams option for 2019, which will make Williams a free agent in March, multiple outlets reported.
