dallas cowboys expected to acquire wr george pickens from steelers in 2026 draft deal
The Dallas Cowboys create news by preparing to acquire Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens while aiming to strengthen their receiver group. The 24-year-old wide receiver takes his final year before his rookie deal expires. The Cowboys will trade their 2026 third-round selection along with a future round pick swap for Pickens to Pittsburgh. The Cowboys’ offensive plan may transform through this upcoming George Pickens trade while the NFC East faces major changes from this strengthened wide receiver lineup. The trade remains unofficial because it is expected to finalize during today’s proceedings.
The Dallas Cowboys face strong external demands to bolster their passing game beyond their standout wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. The team bypassed picking a receiver in the draft to use future draft assets for securing Pickens. The explosive nature of his offense shines through his NFL professional career as he averages catch distances exceeding 15 yards in each season since his third year. With his addition Dallas now fills their position as a dependable second wide receiver.
| Season | Receptions | Yards | Yards Per Catch | Touchdowns |
| 2022 | 52 | 801 | 15.4 | 4 |
| 2023 | 63 | 1140 | 18.1 | 5 |
| 2024 | 59 | 900 | 15.3 | 3 |
Pickens is approaching the final stage of his initial contract period but the Cowboys aren’t sure whether they’ll provide an extension or view him as a short-term temporary solution.
