Dallas Cowboys trade for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, draft pick
- The Pittsburgh Steelers traded 24-year-old wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday in Dallas, Texas.
- The Steelers made the trade after acquiring DK Metcalf and deciding not to offer Pickens a contract extension amid his behavioral issues and inconsistent engagement.
- Pickens, a former Georgia star and second-round pick, led the NFL with 18.1 yards per reception in 2023 but combined on-field production with immaturity and fines.
- The Steelers will acquire a third-round selection in the 2026 draft along with a fifth-round selection in 2027, while the Cowboys part with a sixth-round pick slated for 2026 and bolster their offense by adding George Pickens to join star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
- Pickens' move to Dallas provides him a fresh start and adds a dynamic downfield weapon to Dak Prescott’s offense, as the Cowboys pursue more impactful trades under Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer.
