Dallas acquired Pickens during the offseason from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was a thorn in the Steelers’ side before the Cowboys went after him and traded a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick for him.
It turned out to be more of an expansion than a recession. So much so that team owner Jerry Jones has praised Pickens’ abilities and what he means to the team.
“George has been an integral part of our history, and he has his history, to a certain extent, it’s our history,” Jones said via the team’s website. “I’m so proud for him. Everyone on this team is, and he’s definitely been a difference maker as we’ve played over the last two weeks…it’s something when you’ve [CeeDee Lamb] and Pickens.”

Jones added that he would like to have Pickens 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 with him. We’d love to have him on the team. By the way, I’d love to have him. [Lamb] in the team. And I know what we’re asking here, but we certainly like the way the combination really allows us to execute on offense.
“I’m proud that he’s having the season he’s having. It’s beyond anything we could have hoped for.”
Pickens already has career highs in receptions (67) and touchdowns (8) this season. He has 1,054 receiving yards and is on pace to set a new career mark in this statistical category. He totaled 1,140 receiving yards in 2023 with the Steelers.
