Former Steelers WR George Pickens Joins CeeDee Lamb in Giving Cowboys a New Receiving Duo

The Dallas Cowboys acquired wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a trade announced on May 7, 2025.
The trade followed Dallas' offseason after ending a three-year playoff run and addressed their need for a proven No. 1 receiver alongside CeeDee Lamb.
Pickens, a former 2022 second-round pick known for his dynamic playmaking and temperamental past in Pittsburgh, joins Lamb who led the NFL with 135 catches in 2023.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' assistant called quarterback Dak Prescott multiple times, leaving a voicemail expressing enthusiasm about sharing positive news, which led to excitement over the addition of George Pickens alongside CeeDee Lamb.
The addition of Pickens suggests Dallas aims to strengthen their receiving corps with a maturing athlete, as coaches and players highlight his work ethic and potential despite prior off-field concerns.
