The dust has firmly settled on the Dallas Cowboys trading for wide receiver George Pickens and it feels fair to say that we have all moved on to the point of excitement for what he can offer this football team.

The more you consider the football merits of the Cowboys' big move, the better they look. That still leaves plenty of questions in the long term.

On Wednesday, the Steelers sent the 24-year-old Pickens to the Cowboys in exchange for a 2026 third-round draft pick and a 2027 sixth-rounder. Acquiring DK Metcalf then trading Pickens for such a low price suggests the mercurial wideout had worn out his three-year welcome with Mike Tomlin and company.
