Cowboys land WR George Pickens in trade with Steelers: Report
Cowboys land WR George Pickens in trade with Steelers: Report originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly adding some explosiveness to their offense.
The team is trading for Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens, according to multiple reports. Bobby Belt of 105.3 The Fan was the first to report on the trade talks between the Cowboys and Steelers.
NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported that the trade will feature a third-rounder heading to Pittsburgh and a late-round pick swap.
The Steelers selected Pickens out of Georgia in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He has surpassed at least 800 receiving yards in each of his first three NFL seasons and set career highs with 63 receptions, 1,140 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2023.
Pickens missed three games in 2024 and finished with 59 receptions, 900 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
This marks the second major wide receiver trade for the Steelers this offseason. The team shipped out its 2025 second-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks to land DK Metcalf and then gave him a five-year, $150 million contract.
It is also another receiver trade for the Cowboys, who shipped out a 2025 fourth-round pick in November for Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Carolina Panthers. Mingo went on to total five catches for 46 yards across eight games with the Cowboys.
Pickens was entering the final year of his rookie deal in Pittsburgh and is eligible for an extension. Now, he will play alongside an All-Pro wideout in CeeDee Lamb while catching passes from quarterback Dak Prescott.
