After the NFL draft ended, the Dallas Cowboys still lacked a major need at the wide receiver position, and Jerry Jones told everyone that they were still looking to address the problem.

Cameron Heyward didn’t hold back and gave a surprising reaction to the departure of wide receiver George Pickens, who left Mike Tomlin's Pittsburgh Steelers to play the 2025 NFL season with the Dallas Cowboys.

Former NFL wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh believes that George Pickens’ antics with the Pittsburgh Steelers were enough for them to move on from him. Houshmandzadeh says he knows people who play on the team, and he would consistently be late for events, including the team’s plane and bus departures.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones finally delivered on his promise of a "substantive trade" this week, acquiring wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a future third-round draft pick.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens wasn't considered an option by multiple teams in the 2022 NFL draft, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "At least one NFL team took him off their draft board after being turned off by his behavior during his predraft visit, according to a high-ranking team executive," Pryor reported Saturday.

NFL analyst Kevin Clark pulled the curtain back on Pickens’ mindset, saying he plays the game with some anger. Pickens believes he’s the best player in the world, and gets frustrated that the ball doesn’t come his way on every play. Rather than throw a fit and demand the ball, Pickens draws attention to himself by bullying defenders.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been all over the place throughout the 2025 offseason. Aaron Rodgers has taken up a lot of the headlines, but the organization shocked the NFL world when the decision was made to trade George Pickens after the league's annual draft.

Much has already been said, written and rumored about the emotional baggage that new Dallas Cowboys' receiver George Pickens will bring with him to The Star. But here's a new wrinkle on the blockbuster trade.
