Cowboys sacrifice player to sign George Pickens after huge trade

Cowboys sacrifice player to sign George Pickens after huge trade

The Cowboys have released wide receiver Seth Williams to make room for newly acquired wideout George Pickens, who they brought to Dallas earlier on Wednesday. 

Pickens was traded to Dallas from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday morning alongside a sixth-round pick in next year’s draft. In return, the Steelers received a third-round selection and a fifth-round pick in 2027. 

Williams had never played a game for the Cowboys, spending 2024 on the team’s practice squad. 

Williams has not played in an NFL game since 2021, and only has one career interception, when he was a member of the Denver Broncos. 

The former Auburn standout spent 2022 and 2023 on the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad. 

Safe to say Jerry Jones upgraded his roster by losing Williams and adding Pickens.

The Cowboys bring in the wideout hoping to contend in an NFC East that is getting better around them. 

The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders were the two NFC teams to compete in the conference championship game last year, while the Giants have spent over $130million on its defense and retooled its quarterback room.  

Pickens was the big fish in a seemingly smaller pond with Pittsburgh still not having a clear starter at quarterback this season. 

The Steelers have Mason Rudolph and Will Howard on their roster, with Aaron Rodgers still existing in free agency. 

Now, Pickens will have Prescott as a quarterback, who will be one of the better signal callers he has ever worked with. 

The Cowboys are coming off a 7-10 season, missing the mark on a season that was thought to be their route back to playoff glory. 

Now with new head coach Brian ScH๏τtenheimer, Dallas will again try to compete for a playoff spot, with much less room for comfort.
