00:00George Pickens traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Dallas Cowboys in return a third rounder

00:05making its way back to the Steel City so what does George Pickens now bring to Big D to add

00:12on to this offense we talked about it on the day of the NFL draft at least during draft week at the

00:18end of last month Jerry Jones GM owner of course of the Dallas Cowboys saying he was working on

00:24substantive trades for the Cowboys what exactly that meant we weren't entirely sure we thought

00:29there might be something ahead of the 2025 NFL draft happened after they trade for George Pickens how do

00:36you grade the trade on both sides I think it's actually it could work out extremely well because

00:40understand this George Pickens extreme talent extreme headaches the one thing that you don't

00:45like to see out of a football player is I quit on my team he did that multiple times and also

00:49understand this from the Pittsburgh Steelers perspective and how he made his way to the

00:53Dallas Cowboys the Cowboys fans will look at this and they should man we stole an unbelievable

00:57talent what was the compensation third round pick we'll take that every time but then you have to

01:02say as a Cowboys fan going why would the Steelers give away this wide receiver with just a third round

01:07pick well there's two things here him and Mike Tomler at the end of the road they just couldn't work

01:10together anymore and maybe he wants more opportunities which then you go well you're getting more

01:14opportunities which you might have Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback but DK Metcalf I can't be with DK

01:19Metcalf I got a shine now you're going with CD Lamb who's even a better wide receiver

01:23than DK Metcalf and will command even more targets than DK Metcalf and also understand this

01:27he wants to get paid he's in the final year of his contract now also I saw the agent put some good

01:32words in his mouth look contracts not really big let me prove myself so you go to a football team

01:37with Dak Prescott is going to throw for a lot of yards next year if he's healthy but you are not

01:40the main target and you're trying to analyze what your worth is when you're not the main target at

01:45this point some things don't add up right now but sometimes a change of scenery does work well

01:49for players here but understand this NFL teams do not let young talented wide receivers go unless

01:55there are major issues or errors that they feel that that wide receiver causes and you might be

01:59getting at with George Pickens
