The Dallas Cowboys are finalizing a trade to acquire talented wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN.
The 24-year-old Steelers star would head to Dallas in the proposed deal in exchange for a third-round pick, ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting. Pick swaps may also be involved as well.
Pickens was penciled in opposite newly acquired DK Metcalf on Steelers coach Mike Tomlin’s depth chart. In Dallas, Pickens would play across from another All-Pro in star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Wednesday’s report comes with Pickens entering the final year of his rookie contract, meaning it will be up to Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones to find a way to fit another contract alongside Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott’s massive salaries.
Daily Mail has reached out to both Steelers and Cowboys spokespeople as well as Pickens’ agent David Mulugheta for comment.
A national champion at Georgia, the 6-foot-3 Pickens wowed fans as a Steelers rookie with a series of highlight catches. He’s also faced accusations of immaturity. After incurring two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in a 2024 win over Cincinnati, Pickens was publicly scolded by Tomlin, who said the receiver has ‘just got to frow up, man.’
