According to reports, the Steelers agreed to a trade with the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers today that will send wide receiver George Pickens to Dallas for a 2026 third-round pick. The Cowboys will also send a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Steelers and get back a 2027 sixth-round pick.
Pickens, 24, a second-round pick of the Steelers in 2022, is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Steelers general manager Omar Khan said in February that the team was working on a deal with Pickens but now the team going forward without him. Pickens posted 900 receiving yards and three touchdowns through 14 games in 2024, struggling with inconsistent quarterback play.
The trade has been in the works dating back to the 2025 NFL Draft, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. “Talks stalled, but Dallas came back with an improved effort that eventually lands Pickens from Pittsburgh,” she shared on X as the news broke Wednesday morning.
The Steelers wide receiver got a little smaller and now the biggest star is definitely DK Metcalf, who the Steelers acquired in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason.
