George Pickens Is Taking Over Dallas — And the Cowboys Are Running Out of Time to Keep Him
George Pickens Has Become Everything the Cowboys Wanted — And Now Comes the Big Decision
The Cowboys wanted an Alpha.
They wanted a true WR1 who could take over games, tilt coverages, and give Dak Prescott a reliable, dominant force on the outside.

George Pickens walked into Dallas and immediately became that guy.
Since arriving via trade, Pickens has exploded into one of the league’s most dangerous receivers. He now ranks 2nd in the entire NFL in receiving yards, and every week he keeps reinforcing what’s becoming more obvious:
the Cowboys absolutely nailed this trade.
The connection with Dak is real.
The swagger fits the city.
The contested catches? Pure madness.
Everything Dallas envisioned when they pulled the trigger has translated onto the field — and then some.
And on Monday Night Football vs. the Raiders, Pickens delivered the kind of performance that superstars hang their hats on:
-
9 receptions
144 yards
1 touchdown
A statement game from a statement player.
But now comes the part no one in Dallas can ignore.
His rookie deal is almost up — and that means it's time to pay him.
Pickens is playing like a superstar, producing like a superstar, and carrying himself like a superstar. Players like this don’t grow on trees, and they certainly don’t come cheap.
The Cowboys wanted an Alpha.
They got one.
Now they have to decide if they’re ready to lock him in long-term.
And for a fanbase that knows Jerry Jones’ history, there’s one lingering concern:
if past trends hold, Jerry has never been afraid to move on from his top players.
This time, though, Dallas might not have a choice.
Because George Pickens isn’t just a trade win.
He’s quickly becoming the heartbeat of the Cowboys’ offense — and letting him go would be a disaster of their own making.
