The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys.
On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded their second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, wide receiver George Pickens, to the Dallas Cowboys.
Pickens was a Steeler for three seasons and routinely was a thorn in the Ravens’ side. His departure is a positive for the Ravens, though they’re not without a different star receiver with D.K. Metcalf being acquired by the Steelers this offseason.
But how big of a loss is this for the Steelers — or a benefit for Baltimore?

Derrick Henry is on pace to break the NFL’s all time rushing record, but can he sustain it?
Through nine years of his NFL career, Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has been nothing short of prolific. He’s one of nine players to gain 2,000-plus yards in a single season, led the NFL in rushing twice, rushing touchdowns thrice and bludgeoned run defenses on his way to ranking No. 19 on the NFL’s all-time rushing yards leaderboard (11,423 yards). The gap between Henry and the top five rushers in NFL history is wide, but Henry obliterated the 10,000-yard barrier —...
