The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, alongside a sixth-round pick for the Cowboys. This strategic move raises the profile of Roman Wilson, now poised to be a more central figure in the Steelers' offense as he enters his second year.

While the Dallas Cowboys secure a reliable No. 2 option for quarterback Dak Prescott, the trade slightly impacts CeeDee Lamb's target share in an already pass-heavy offense. As a result, Pickens is expected to settle in as a high-end WR3, enhancing both teams' dynamics as they gear up for the upcoming season.
