I’ll admit, it was a bit shocking to wake up to a George Pickens trade. While there was some smoke surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers dealing the talented but immature wide receiver, it seemed like the 2025 NFL Draft would have been the best time to get a deal done. And if they were planning on […]

Tom Brady’s Las Vegas Raiders passed on Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft, aiding the quarterback’s slide as he slipped all the way to Day 3, finally getting that call in the fifth round.

The Raiders, despite their Geno Smith acquisition, were among the likely destinations for the former Colorado Buffaloes star. But they chose to go in another direction, making little fuss of his availability, even while he continued to drop.

Brady and Sanders have a very good relationship, with the seven-time Super Bowl winner serving as a mentor to the younger QB. While the Raiders, in which Brady...

According to multiple reports, the Steelers have agreed to trade WR George Pickens to the Cowboys.

The trade details are as follows:

Steelers receive:

• 2026 3rd-round pick
• 2027 5th-round pick

Cowboys receive:

• WR George Pickens

The Cowboys had said that they were working on a potential deal, but no reports had connected them to Pickens until now. Either way, it’s a big deal for the Cowboys, who could really use some receiver depth after not addressing the position in the draft.

The Dallas Cowboys are trading for George Pickens.

One of the biggest questions heading into the offseason for the Dallas Cowboys is who will be CeeDee Lamb's running mate at wide receiver. The front office has openly discussed the need for more explosive play at the position and aimed to address that in the first round of the NFL draft.

The New England Patriots entered the 2024 NFL Draft with a definitive need at the wide receiver position and did not waste much time to address it.
