"The Patriots cannot pass on the opportunity to trade for their next WR1 if the Cowboys make him available. Given the Cowboys' reluctance in recent years to hand out blockbuster contracts to their star players, there's a good chance Pickens doesn't receive what he's looking for and is ultimately traded rather than walking for nothing in free agency next year."
"Things might come to a head going into the draft, and the Cowboys could shock everyone by moving Pickens on opening night, as Knox suggests. The Cowboys might be even more eager to land an offensive playmaker if they decided to trade Pickens during the draft's opening night."
The Patriots are positioned to trade their No. 31 pick for a top receiver, unlike previous years when they held higher picks. A.J. Brown has been linked to the team, but if that deal doesn't materialize, George Pickens could be a target. The Cowboys have not finalized a contract with Pickens, and he has indicated he won't participate in offseason workouts until an agreement is reached. If the Cowboys decide to trade him, the Patriots should pursue this opportunity to secure a WR1.
