Steelers trade WR George Pickens to Cowboys

There was a significant trade in the National Football League on Wednesday between two teams that had disdain for each other in the 1970s. The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded wide receiver George Pickens of Hoover, Alabama to the Dallas Cowboys for a third round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft according to Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports. As part of the deal, the Steelers receive a fifth round pick in 2027, and the Cowboys receive a sixth round pick in 2027.

Pickens has spent the last three seasons in Pittsburgh. In 2024, he caught 59 passes for 900 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Pickens had five catches for 111 yards and one touchdown in a 37-15 Steelers win over the New York Jets on October 20.

In 2023, Pickens led the NFL with 18.1 receiving yards per catch. He also had career highs in receptions (63), receiving yards (1140), and touchdown catches (five).

From a Cowboys perspective, Dallas receives a wide receiver to complement CeeDee Lamb. The fact that the Steelers made a trade here is interesting as they also have acquired D.K. Metcalf in an offseason trade with the Seattle Seahawks, and signed Robert Woods last week.

Meanwhile, there is significant talk at the moment that the Steelers are in talks with future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers are reportedly very interested, but according to Steelers minority owner Thomas Tull, the negotiations lately with Rodgers are “more complex than artificial intelligence,” according to Mike Florio of NBC Sports. What is fair to say is that the Steelers need to address their quarterback situation rather soon and Rodgers is still the best option available. The franchise will not win many games with Will Howard, Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson at the helm.
