A trade is being finalized that will send Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for draft pick compensation, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The trade is expected to include a third-round pick and other pick swaps and is set to be finalized Wednesday, sources said.
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 the team was looking to reach a deal with Pickens but ultimately was set to move on.
Adding Pickens gives quarterback Dak Prescott another high-profile wide receiver target to pair with CeeDee Lamb.
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.
