The team’s special team star could end up being so much more in 2025.
The Dallas Cowboys made a big move to acquire wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 24-year-old receiver has eclipsed 800 yards receiving in each of the three seasons he’s been in the league, including a 1,140 showing in 2023. The addition of Pickens, combined with three-time All-Pro CeeDee Lamb, should make for quite the one-two punch for the Cowboys' aerial attack.
While these two receivers should help the passing game tremendously, the team is still looking for a quality WR3 to stretch the defense even more. After hearing about the Pickens trade, the optimism for other receivers down the depth chart suddenly increased. Now it feels like anything Jonathan Mingo adds at this point would just be a bonus. The slow-developing Jalen Tolbert is coming off a 610-yard season last year. If he’s close to that again, he becomes much easier to like since he’ll take on a smaller role. Anything remotely decent from Parris Campbell, Jalen Brooks, or Ryan Flournoy will just be icing on the cake.
