Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan discussed the recent trade of wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, indicating the timeline of negotiations began mid-April during the draft. Despite initial offers not being appealing, discussions with the Cowboys rekindled interest, leading to a quick agreement. Pickens' transfer, prompted further by the acquisition of D.K. Metcalf by the Steelers earlier in the offseason, included multiple conversations with internal staff and Pickens' agent. Notably, Pickens himself did not request a trade, counteracting prior speculation.
The trade for Pickens became official on Wednesday after Dallas added a reliable second receiving option to pair with CeeDee Lamb.
Khan confirmed that George Pickens never requested a trade, clarifying that he was not informed of any desire from Pickens to leave.
