"The Cowboys traded for Pickens and the trade paid off. Pickens led the team in receptions (93), yards (1,429), and touchdowns (9). Lamb still had a 1,000 yard season despite missing three games. The surprise of the season might be the emergence of Ryan Flournoy, who blossomed when Lamb was out. Assuming the Cowboys either sign Pickens or franchise tag him, the Cowboys will have a dynamic group of receivers for Dak Prescott to throw to."
"Pickens had a Pro Bowl season, playing in all 17 games. However, he only started in 15 of them due to some off-field disciplinary issues. His potential to have such issues should give the Cowboys pause, at least enough to put something in any contract to cover the team in case he turns into Antonio Brown. Still, Pickens had a career year."
Successful Cowboys teams historically relied on a dominant 1-2 receiving combo, and the 2025 roster delivered a similar balance. The Cowboys acquired George Pickens, who led the team with 93 receptions, 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns and earned Pro Bowl honors while starting 15 of 17 games. CeeDee Lamb still posted 74 catches for 1,073 yards and three touchdowns in 12 full games despite missing four games due to injury. Ryan Flournoy emerged as a surprise contributor when Lamb was sidelined. Contract decisions or a franchise tag for Pickens will determine the continuity of the receiving group.
