| The REAL reason George Pickens got traded to Dallas Cowboys | Scoop City Emergency Podcast | 07 May 2025 | 00:16:38 | |
The Dallas Cowboys stunned the NFL work by trading for wide receiver George Pickens. The Cowboys send a 3rd and 5th round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for Pickens and a 6th round pick. Former NFL QB Chase Daniel and The Athletic's Cowboys beat writer, Jon Machota, react to the trade. The Cowboys were rumored to be in the wide receiver market and interested in possibly selecting one in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys front office could not find a #2 wideout in the draft. Instead, Jones sends picks to Pittsburgh in exchange for Pickens. Chase and Jon take you through how this impacts the Cowboys, Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Brian Schottenheimer. Plus, should the buyer beware when dealing with a wide receiver Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin no longer wanted? Chase and Jon discuss that angle as well. Hosted on Acast.
