Pickens is the most recent of a common trend in Pittsburgh where the organization parts ways with young receivers at the end of their rookie deals rather than extending their contracts.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers are in the process of finalizing a trade for Pickens that will send a third-round draft pick to the Steelers and additional pick swaps.

That’s why it’s no surprise to see the Cowboys continue to be connected to Pickens. The latest to do so is Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay, who says the Steelers should trade Pickens before the start of the season. He also says Dallas is the most logical spot.
