If there’s one man who knows how to make a deal, it’s Jerry Jones . When the Dallas Cowboys traded a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick, Dallas not only landed a playmaker….they landed a bargain. The Cowboys took on the final year of Pickens’s rookie contract, worth just $3.656 million, and he’s turned out to be a perfect ROI for them.
Pickens has been on fire lately. He racked up 6 touchdowns over his last five games. In Sunday’s loss to the Panthers , he managed 9 catches, 168 yards, and a touchdown. His breakout performances have earned him a well-deserved contract boost. According to Over the Cap, Picken’s contract now reached $28.65 million , which is over the projected $28 m
