Why it made sense for the Steelers to trade George Pickens
After months of rumors and speculation, the Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to terms with the Dallas Cowboys on a trade for wide receiver George Pickens in exchange for a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick. The Steelers are also sending a sixth-round pick to Dallas.
Ever since the DK Metcalf trade and immediate four-year extension for the talented receiver took place, I’ve said that trading Pickens was the likely move. He was on the final year of his deal, the Steelers weren’t going to extend him, and Metcalf and Pickens...
Behind the Steel Curtain
The Pittsburgh Steelers are finalizing a trade of star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, according to multiple media reports, then first of which was by Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The trade has not yet been finalized, but is expected to be for multiple draft picks in compensation, with a third-round pick being the centerpiece, per NFL Network. Pickens, 24, was the team’s second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He showed significant promise as an electric playmaker over three seasons, but also ruffled feathers within the organization with his behavior.

Rumors that Sports Illustrated model Olivia Ponton and Joe Burrow are dating have been fueled recently, and she was asked about it at a Met Gala afterparty.
TMZ met with Ponton outside of the party. She initially seemed friendly with the paparazzi. “Hi, how are you guys?” she asked while smiling as she started walking out.
She was then asked straight-up if she was “dating Joe Burrow.” Instantly, her mood changed, and she started looking down as she continued to walk. The two were recently spotted at the Miami Grand Prix together after there were reports they had been “hooking...

The Dallas Cowboys entered the offseason in desperate need to find a no. 2 wide receiver to line up opposite of Ceedee Lamb, and it appears as though they’ve found their man.
In an early morning shocker, it was announced that the Cowboys were finalizing a deal that would bring former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens to Big D. The exact terms of the deal are Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Cowboys in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.
Pickens is entering the final year of his contract, so it is...

If the Dallas Cowboys front office does something well, it has been drafting talent in the first round and hitting a home run most of the time.
Mainly on the offensive line, and just like they did from 2011 through 2014 when they drafted Tyron Smith, Zach Martin and Travis Frederick, we have seen them try and mimic this again the last three years.
I really like the Tyler Booker pick, and we already know what Tyler Smith has done in his first couple of years in the league.
That leaves Tyler Guyton, a raw talent who has every chance...

The Jacksonville Jaguars are embarking on one of the NFL’s boldest player development strategies, centering their vision around No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter. Known for his rare two-way dominance at Colorado, Hunter is set to begin his pro career primarily as a wide receiver, but Jacksonville’s coaching staff has bigger plans in the works.
Jaguars 2-way rookie star Travis Hunter will walk at his graduation in Colorado Thursday then start Jaguars rookie minicamp on Friday as the “culture changer” they hunted for.

Mark Robinson is among the Steelers’ most vulnerable veterans to miss the 53-man roster this season due to personnel turnover. Including some 2024 free-agent signings, veteran players lose jobs to the incoming class every year. The Steelers could see some pretty significant roster turnover in 2025, though, and in fact, they have already started. After […]

In our most recent poll question we asked what grade would you give the New Orleans Saints 2025 draft?
After 236 votes, the grade of B won with 54.7% of the vote. This is generally the feeling around the league regarding the Saints draft as they had some very good picks but also some that were highly questionable. Many thought they would go for Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders at #9 overall, but instead they opted for Texas OT Kelvin Banks, Jr. in a move to sure up the offensive line. When the Saints were strongest...

The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a blockbuster trade early on Wednesday morning, picking up wide receiver George Pickens in a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After a fairly quiet offseason, the Cowboys finally got a running mate for their own superstar wideout CeeDee Lamb on offense, and shortly after the trade was made public, a cryptic social media post from Lamb resurfaced, quickly catching the attention of fans everywhere.
After being selected with the No. 17 pick of the 2020 NFL draft, Lamb quickly established himself as one of the top wide receivers in the game with the Cowboys. However,...
