Dallas NFL team, the Cowboys, reportedly gain George Pickens from the Steelers in a significant trade deal.
Turning Tables in Dallas: Cowboys Eyeing George Pickens Swap
Seems like the Dallas Cowboys are cooking up a deal to grab hold of promising wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to ESPN, the tantalizing trade could involve a third-round pick in exchange for Pickens, with pick swaps possibly on the table too.
Steelers' world turns upside down as George Pickens sets to fly to Dallas, shaking hands with another All-Pro, CeeDee Lamb. After unfollowing his former team on social media, Pickens is ready to elevate Cowboys' offense.
The air is electric with reports about the proposed trade, as Pickens enters his final year of his rookie contract. Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner, will now find a way to juggle another contract alongside Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott's massive salaries.
To find out whether the Cowboys can charm Pickens with a new contract, we've reached out to the Steelers, Cowboys, and Pickens' agent, David Mulugheta.
A national champion at Georgia, the 6-foot-3 Pickens has left fans in awe with his flair for heroic catches, though not without allegations of immaturity. Following two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in a 2024 win over Cincinnati, Pickens had a stern talk with Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who was not too pleased with his antics, stating, "He just needs to grow up, man."
On the talent front, Pickens certainly delivers. Despite catching passes from five different quarterbacks over three seasons, he has managed an impressive 174 receptions for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns on 293 targets.
As for the Steelers, they're in a pickle with free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The passer has visited with Pittsburgh coaches and been eyed by the team ever since his abrupt departure from the New York Jets. Things are heating up between Rodgers and Tomlin, but that's a story for another day.
In the midst of all this drama, Cowboys' star edge rusher Micah Parsons is hoping for a fresh new deal. Here's the twist – Parsons and Pickens share the same agent, David Mulugheta, who's had a few words with Jerry Jones in the past. Stay tuned for more on that brewing saga!
