Debate continues over George Pickens' role with Cowboys
Summary

The conversation around George Pickens' potential future with the Dallas Cowboys is heating up. Beat writer Albert Breer opines that while Pickens may not outpace CeeDee Lamb as the team's No. 1 wide receiver in 2027, there is potential for that to change by 2028. The Cowboys' recent success with Pickens includes career-best numbers and his first Pro Bowl selection. ESPN suggests this could be an opportune time for the Cowboys to consider trading Pickens, as his value has surged following a breakout year in 2025.
