The Steelers reportedly tried to trade George Pickens during the 2025 NFL Draft and were “laughed at" by other NFL teams.

For most, when the Dallas Cowboys traded for Pittsburgh Steelers receiver George Pickens, they already nailed him down to a specific role. With Dak Prescott now having two genuine receivers to utilize, the passing game is expected to pick up pace after a poor 2024 season where it was Lamb or bust.

After months of speculation, the Pittsburgh Steelers have traded veteran wide receiver George Pickens. Pittsburgh is sending him to the Cowboys, Dallas announced Wednesday. The Cowboys will send a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder to Pittsburgh, while the Steelers will also include a 2027 sixth-round pick.
