Everyone wants to know who won or lost the George Pickens trade. The answer is unsatisfying but the reality is that it made sense for the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pickens was traded from the Steelers to the Cowboys, with Dallas giving up a 2026 3rd-round pick and a 2027 5th-round pick for Pickens and a 2027 6th-round pick. Pickens had become a hassle for the Steelers, no matter how talented he was, and the Cowboys needed an upgrade at receiver. It made sense.
But there are some sides that won and lost in the trade.
