Before the 2025 NFL Draft, the czar of the Dallas Cowboys noted that he had a couple of irons in the fire with "two pretty substantive trades" in the works. One of those has since come to fruition with Dallas executing a deal to acquire wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In a blockbuster trade, the Dallas Cowboys have acquired wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a third-round pick and a sixth-round pick. The Cowboys will also receive a seventh-round pick in the deal. The transaction has been confirmed by a Star-Telegram team source.
