George Pickens has joined the Dallas Cowboys after being cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers, who traded him for a second-round pick.

As he enters the final year of his rookie deal, the Cowboys are not planning to address Pickens' contract extension this offseason.

Last season, Pickens had a commendable performance with 900 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and he aims to achieve a breakout year with the Cowboys.

In 2024, he recorded 900 receiving yards and three touchdowns, although he struggled with quarterback inconsistency during his time in Pittsburgh.

Reports from Pittsburgh indicated that Pickens had a troublesome reputation in the locker room, despite his talent.

Concerns about Pickens' attitude stemmed from previous issues with the Steelers, including tardiness to team meetings.

He faced criticism for being a negative locker room presence during his three seasons with the Steelers, struggling with punctuality and on-field effort.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott addressed concerns about Pickens' reputation, emphasizing the importance of forming one's own opinion about a person.

Despite the concerns, Prescott is optimistic about Pickens' potential in Dallas, indicating a fresh start for the wide receiver.

Prescott described Pickens as someone who loves football and his teammates, noting his eagerness and punctuality since joining the Cowboys.

If utilized effectively, Pickens could become a significant offensive asset alongside star receiver CeeDee Lamb, having recorded 174 receptions for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career.

Prescott praised Pickens for his production and work ethic since joining the team, stating he has 'no concerns' about the player.
