The George Pickens Trade: A Win-Win or Risky Move for Cowboys and Steelers?

Analysis of the George Pickens trade between Cowboys and Steelers.

The Dallas Cowboys made a significant trade for wide receiver George Pickens on Wednesday morning. They sent a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick.

The Cowboys had been seeking a legitimate WR2 to pair with CeeDee Lamb, and Pickens seems like a potential fit. However, there are concerns. The Steelers coach had expressed issues with Pickens' behavior.

For the Steelers, it's decent compensation as they already acquired DK Metcalf earlier. But they now have a receiver depth issue.

The trade's impact on Aaron Rodgers' potential move to Pittsburgh is also discussed.
