Former Steelers WR George Pickens Joins CeeDee Lamb in Giving Cowboys a New Receiving Duo
- On May 7, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys acquired wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a trade involving draft picks and a 2027 late-round pick swap.
- The Cowboys pursued Pickens to strengthen a receiving corps that lacked a proven No.1 option following a three-year playoff run, while reports differ slightly on draft pick details.
- Pickens, a 24-year-old second-round pick in 2022, joins All-Pro CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott on the field during organized team activities this week while overcoming past penalty issues in Pittsburgh.
- Coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Pickens' maturity and athleticism, and Prescott said Pickens will “win one-on-ones” while expressing excitement about pairing him with Lamb in Dallas.
- The trade positions the Cowboys with a potentially dynamic receiver duo entering the 2025 season, as Pickens continues to show growth and Lamb completes a full offseason after missing last year.
