“I love it. It’s unlikely to see the Cowboys go out and get a playmaker, like that says a lot about where they’re trying to go this year. There’s no more excuses. you know, fans, including myself. Hey, we gotta give Mr. Jones, Steven Jones, Will McLaughlin and the guys a break,” Bryant said.
“They’re going out there doing what they supposed to do to make this team better, they went out and got a hell of a piece in George Pickens…You put him with CeeDee Lamb, man. That’s trouble. That’s trouble for defenses.”

What’s next for Cowboys after George Pickens trade
Time will tell if the Cowboys’ trade for George Pickens works out. Nonetheless, they have plenty of reasons to be optimistic about bringing him into the offense.
Pickens impressed throughout his first three years in the league with the Steelers. In 48 career appearances, he made 174 receptions for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns. This past season, he made 59 catches for 900 yards and three touchdowns.
Now with Dallas, he pairs himself with CeeDee Lamb as the top two receivers in the offense. Lamb caused trouble for opponents as the leading target for the Cowboys’ quarterbacks. With Pickens entering the fold, he would draw attention away from Lamb, allowing the star receiver to flourish more often with ease.
