Duration The meetings of the NFL League earlier this low season, Stephen Jones indicated that the Dallas Cowboys were looking to add a number two width in front of CEEEE Lamb. That led many to believe that the Cowboys would add a receiver with their selection in the first round, maybe Matthew Golden of Texas or even Arizona Wr Tetaira McMillan.
Instead, Dallas was in a different direction, drawing the guard Tyler Booker with his choice at number 12.
Now we could know why.
According to multiple reports, the cowboys are finishing an exchange with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the open receiver George Pickens. As declared by Adam Schefter of ESPN, the exchange is expected to be final today:

Now the agreement is official:
The Steelers are recovering a third round of 2026 and a selection of fifth round 2027, while renouncing a 2026 selection of sixth round.
The Steelers added DK Metcalf Duration the low season through an exchange with the Seattle Seahawks, and then signed the receiver with a five -year contract extension for a value of up to $ 150 million. The team also signed Robert Woods through exemptions.
As for Pickens, he was recruited in the second round by the Steelers in 2022, and caught 59 passes for 900 yards, and three touchdowns last season. Pickens scored at least 50 receptions, 800 yards and three touchdowns lasted each of its seasons in Pittsburgh, but with the receiver entering a year of contract there were questions about their long -term state with the steelers.
Now it seems that he will have a new home.
As for Lamb, the Cowboys WR seemed excited about the news on social networks:
