Dallas acquired Pickens in the offseason from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was a thorn in the Steelers' side before the Cowboys pounced on him and traded a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick for him.
It has turned out to be more of a boom than a bust. So much so that team owner Jerry Jones praised Pickens' abilities and what he means to the team.
“George has been an integral part of our history, and he has his history, to some extent, that's our history,” Jones said, via the team's website. “I'm very proud of him. Everyone on this team is, and he's certainly made a difference in what we've played over the last two weeks… it's something when you have [CeeDee Lamb] and Pickens.”

Jones added that he would like Pickens to return to the Cowboys in 2026 and beyond.
“Of course, of course,” Jones added. “We're proud to have him and I don't even want to play with him. We'd love to have him on the team. By the way, I'd love to have him.” [Lamb] on the team. And I know what we're asking here, but we sure like the way the combination really allows us to execute on offense.
“I'm proud that he's having the season he's having. It's beyond anything we could have hoped for.”
Pickens already has career highs in receptions (67) and touchdown receptions (8) this season. He has 1,054 receiving yards and is on the verge of setting a new career mark in that statistical category. He had 1,140 receiving yards in 2023 with the Steelers.
