The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for future draft picks, notably a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 Day 3 pick swap. This move follows the earlier acquisition of DK Metcalf, indicating a strategic shift in the Steelers' wide receiver lineup. With Metcalf now on the roster, the Steelers are aiming to bolster their offensive options, yet the supporting cast remains a mix of unproven and aging players.

The addition of veteran Robert Woods, who struggled last season, raises questions about the team's depth at receiver. Calvin Austin III had a promising year but lacks consistency. As the team evaluates free-agent options, targets like Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper emerge as potential solutions to strengthen the corps before training camp begins.
