ESPN suggests Cowboys could trade breakout star George Pickens this summer
Summary

ESPN has highlighted George Pickens as a standout player for the Cowboys in 2025, following a breakout year that included career-best numbers and a first Pro Bowl selection. Despite his success, analysts believe the Cowboys may consider trading Pickens due to uncertainty about his long-term consistency, as he is currently on a franchise tag. With the July 15 deadline approaching for potential contract extensions, teams in need of a wide receiver might show interest. The Cowboys have bolstered their receiving corps, adding veteran players, which might indicate they are preparing for a trade if a suitable offer arises.
