The Cowboys and Steelers are working to finalize a trade that will send wide receiver George Pickens to Dallas in exchange for draft pick compensation, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The trade is expected to be finalized Wednesday.
The move comes with Pickens eligible for a contract extension as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Steelers general manager Omar Khan had said in February that they were looking to reach a deal with Pickens but ultimately are set to move on.
Pickens, 24, had 59 catches for 900 yards and three touchdowns last season. He posted at least 50 receptions, 800 yards and three touchdowns in each of his three seasons with the Steelers.
This is the second time in six months that the Cowboys have traded for a wide receiver. In November, the Cowboys acquired wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick. Mingo played in eight games for Dallas, totaling five receptions for 46 yards.
