When George Pickens takes the field as a Dallas Cowboy in September, he will do so as WR2 while CeeDee Lamb spearheads the group. That’s a big change from his days with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was the only dynamic playmaker on an anemic offense.
The George Pickens trade was made official on Thursday. Pickens was in Dallas for a press conference and shortly after, both teams announced the previously reported on terms.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a big move by trading wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. As part of the deal, the Cowboys will receive Pickens along with a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, giving them a young, dynamic player to strengthen their receiving corps.
George Pickens is one of the better former Pittsburgh Steelers WRs to depart in recent years. Juju, Claypool, Diontae Johnson...Pickens is better than all three. But those three, along with nearly every other WR the Steelers have traded or let walk in free agency, all have something in common that George Pickens wants no part of...

The Cowboys offense got better with the trade for George Pickens.
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...
George Pickens is in the final year of his contract, and his new team is unlikely to sign him to an extension at any point in the near future. The star wide receiver does not sound too concerned about that.
There are a lot of questions surrounding George Pickens' arrival to the Dallas Cowboys, most of which are very understandable. One of the main driving forces that pushed the Pittsburgh Steelers to deal Pickens away is character concerns.
The Dallas Cowboys often get criticized for making too few moves during the offseason. This time, Jerry Jones has lived up to his promise of going ‘all-in.’ In the first month of free agency alone, the team signed 10 players, with the majority of them being on the defensive side of the ball.
Different reports and speculation have emerged about the real reasons behind the Pickens trade. When a player gets moved, new stories often surface that have been kept under wraps.

There are only a few starting spots available on the Cowboys roster next season.
Good or bad, Brian Schottenheimer inherits a Dallas Cowboys roster that has few starting jobs up for grabs heading into the 2025 NFL season. On one hand, that's good news in that he's inheriting a team potentially ready to compete right away. On the other hand, he's also inheriting a team that may not fit what he envisions for this organization.
Whatever the case,...
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves in a familiar position: analyzing how young talent they once scouted will now line up against them.
Brian Schottenheimer was all smiles last Saturday. Just over three months after being named the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, he finally got to step onto the practice field at The Star for rookie minicamp.
Heading into the 2022 NFL draft, first-year General Manager Ryan Poles was already facing an uphill battle. The previous regime had traded away its first-round pick to move up the year before to select quarterback Justin Fields.
They say good things take time, and George Pickens’ arrival in Dallas might just be proof of that. After spending the entire offseason and the 2025 NFL Draft without addressing their glaring need for a WR2, the Cowboys have finally made one of their biggest offseason moves by trading for the former Steelers wideout.
Sure, the Dallas Cowboys' trade for George Pickens addressed the team's biggest post-draft need. But the acquisition of the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver is about much more than that.

Here is how the George Pickens acquisition is going to impact the rest of the Cowboys receiver group.
As we’re sure you already know, the Cowboys just traded for a new starting wide receiver in former Steeler George Pickens. He walks in as CeeDee Lamb’s wingman, bumping everyone else on the depth chart down a peg. What does that mean for Jalen Tolbert, Jonathan Mingo, and others in what’s now become a competition for WR3?
One could argue that...
There are plenty of takes about the pros or cons of the Cowboys’ addition of WR George Pickens with their trade yesterday with the Steelers. That said, it’s the decade and a half of recent history with this scenario that’s worth noting for ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

What grade would you give the Cowboys signing of George Pickens?
The Dallas Cowboys sent shockwaves through the NFL on Wednesday when they struck a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. George Pickens will now line up in an offense alongside Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and all the rest.
Acquiring Pickens is a move that carries both pros and cons for Dallas. It goes without saying that we are all hoping for more of the former and that he will provide...
