Dallas acquired Pickens in the offseason from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was a thorn in the side of the Steelers before the Cowboys took a flyer on him and traded a 2026 third-round draft pick and a 2027 sixth-round draft pick for him.
It has turned out to be more boom than bust. So much so that team owner Jerry Jones touted Pickens’ ability and what he meant to the team.
“George has been such an integral part of our history and he has his history, to a degree that is our history,” Jones said via the team’s website. “I’m so proud of him. Everybody on this team is and he’s definitely been the difference as we’ve played the last two weeks… that’s something you have [CeeDee Lamb] and Pickens.”

Jones added that he wants Pickens to be back with the Cowboys in 2026 and beyond.
“Of course, of course,” Jones added. “We’re proud to have him and I don’t even want to play games with it. We’d love to have him on the team. By the way, I’d love to have him on the team. [Lamb] on the team. And I know what we’re asking here, but we like the way the combo really lets us execute on offense.
“I’m proud that he’s had the season he’s had. It’s beyond anything we could have hoped for.”
Pickens already has career highs in receptions (67) and touchdown catches (8) this season. He has 1,054 receiving yards and is on the verge of setting a new career mark in that statistical category. He had 1,140 receiving yards in 2023 with the Steelers.
