Cowboys fans feel pretty good about the George Pickens trade.
We’ve already covered on the site many times that the Dallas Cowboys front office was much more active in the roster-building phase this offseason than they had been recently. The sheer number of free agents and trades, combined with the draft class, gives the team a lot more options heading into 2025.
At one point, after the draft, it looked like the Cowboys might just be done with major acquisitions. But just a little while before the draft, Jerry Jones was quoted as saying the team had a couple of substantive deals they were working on. After the draft, one of those deals became known when the Cowboys couldn’t get their WR2 in the draft.
The Cowboys essentially sent a third-round pick for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens. CeeDee Lamb needed a running mate, and Pickens was brought on board. While Lamb is a smooth operator out of the slot who carves open defenses, Pickens is a deeper threat with an unworldly catch radius.
