Dallas Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones teased that the team could be active on the trade market again just before the draft, and coming away from the draft with nine picks but not a single wide receiver went a long way in narrowing down what position the team may be targeting in a trade. The Cowboys made a high-profile trade for a wide receiver on Wednesday morning, acquiring George Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round draft pick from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for next year’s third-round pick and a ‘27 fifth-round pick.
The Cowboys making this trade is just the latest example of them sticking to their word when it comes to this offseason’s plans to improve under first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, but in more ways than one.
