The Dallas Cowboys made a major move by trading a 2026 third-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for star wide receiver George Pickens. Dallas also moved their 2027 fifth-round pick in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick as part of the deal.
The rationale behind the move was simple: Pickens filled one of the team’s biggest holes from the last few years. Dallas had been lacking a true WR2 behind CeeDee Lamb since they traded Amari Cooper away after the 2021 season.
Since then, no other Cowboys wide receiver has posted 700 receiving yards in a season, limiting the offense behind Lamb.
