The Pittsburgh Steelers traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys last May. Pittsburgh received a 2026 third-round pick from Dallas, using that pick on quarterback Drew Allar. The trade will be complete in next April\u2019s draft, as the Steelers received a 2027 fifth-round pick and the Cowboys received a 2027 sixth-round pick.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Steelers, the trade has not aged well after one season. DK Metcalf caught just 59 passes in 2026, while Pickens was a Second-Team All-Pro after hauling in 93 receptions and nine touchdowns in his first year with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

After Pickens\u2019 massive season, he was voted as the No. 7 wide receiver in the NFL by league executives and scouts, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.<\/p>\n

Now apart of one of the NFL\u2019s most dynamic offenses, Pickens and the Cowboys could be a team we see make it to the NFC Championship Game and represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
