Former Steelers WR George Pickens update is bad news for Cowboys
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is ready to give the Dallas Cowboys a trade ultimatum, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
In what many currently consider the NFL’s biggest tug-of-war, former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens may be on the verge of issuing a huge trade ultimatum to the Dallas Cowboys . According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Pickens all but has his mind made up — he wants an extension from the Cowboys or he wants out of Dallas. "Look, [Pickens] wants a long-term contract or he would like a trade," Schefter said via The Pat McAfee Show.
"They have been very clear that they’re not going to give him a long-term contract. " Pickens, who was looking for a massive payday this offseason following his All-Pro performance in 2025, was franchise-tagged by the Cowboys. Although Pickens eventually signed the tag, he also unfollowed the Cowboys on social media as he pursues a long-term deal with the team.
