The George Pickens trade almost never happened because the Dallas Cowboys were in talks with the Baltimore Ravens to land wide receiver Rashod Bateman.

With Pickens now in Dallas, there is a palpable sense of excitement for the Cowboys, whose wide receiver room also features CeeDee Lamb. Pickens is expected to form a dangerous 1-2 punch downfield for the Cowboys' attack that finished the 2024 NFL season with an average of 227.2 passing yards per game.

The Dallas Cowboys made a splash by adding George Pickens, and one of the team's legends believes he is exactly what the team needs.
