George Pickens gives Dallas Cowboys' offense much-needed new dynamic

The Dallas Cowboys made a splash this week and finally addressed one of the biggest weaknesses on the roster after trading with the Pittsburgh Steelers for star wide receiver George Pickens.

Pickens had been linked to the Cowboys for several weeks, but there was some believe trade talks had died down.

But while it seemed like the idea of adding Pickens was fading away, Dallas came through to land a running mate for CeeDee Lamb that will open up the offense.
