Like any bad relationship, it was inevitable the Pittsburgh Steelers and George Pickens were headed toward a divorce. On Wednesday morning, it finally happened, as Pittsburgh dealt the talented yet emotionally immature Pickens and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.

Insider Gerry Dulac shed light on when the George Pickens trade negotiations between the Steelers and Cowboys truly began.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys have finalized a trade for wide receiver George Pickens. Dallas confirmed the deal on Wednesday after ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the trade. Schefter noted Pickens' agent is also the agent for Micah Parsons, who is seeking a long-term extension from the Cowboys this offseason.
