The Cowboys could be put in a precarious position financially if Pickens has a standout year in Dallas, as, according to Spotrac, they are projected to have $21.5 million in cap space. They are also expected to resign star pass rusher Micah Parsons, making the team’s financial constraints in the coming years even greater.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones finally delivered on his promise of a "substantive trade" this week, acquiring wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a future third-round draft pick.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys have finalized a trade for wide receiver George Pickens. Dallas confirmed the deal on Wednesday after ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the trade. Schefter noted Pickens' agent is also the agent for Micah Parsons, who is seeking a long-term extension from the Cowboys this offseason.
