"Following the win against the Eagles, Prescott spoke openly about Pickens and what the organization needs to do to keep him in a Cowboys uniform long-term. "My expectations are limitless with that guy. He's not from here. He's not from this planet. We lucked up getting a guy like that. We have to make sure we can keep him here. He's a hell of a player. He's turning into a leader. He's special," Prescott said, via Jon Machota."
"The Cowboys acquired Pickens by trading a 2026 third-round pick, a 2027 fifth-rounder, and a 2027 sixth-round selection to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The investment has already proven worthwhile as Pickens positions himself among the league's elite receivers this season. Through Week 12 against Philadelphia, he has accumulated 1,054 receiving yards, second only to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the NFL. Pickens' breakout performance has sparked conversations about his future contract with Dallas."
George Pickens arrived in Dallas to complement CeeDee Lamb and has rapidly emerged as the team's most dominant receiver. He recorded nine catches for 146 yards and a touchdown in a comeback win over the Eagles, following a 144-yard, one-score performance six days earlier. Dallas acquired Pickens in a multi-pick trade with the Steelers, and he has accumulated 1,054 receiving yards through Week 12, ranking second in the NFL. Dak Prescott praised Pickens' play and leadership and urged the organization to keep him long-term as free agency and contract talks approach.
