Cowboys Explore Trades for Ravens Bateman, Steelers Pickens

The Dallas Cowboys made a significant offseason move by trading for Pittsburgh Steelers star receiver George Pickens, immediately upgrading their offense and giving Dak Prescott a top-tier receiving duo. Prior to acquiring Pickens, the Cowboys also explored trading for Baltimore Ravens wideout Rashod Bateman, who confirmed the talks but ultimately chose to re-sign with Baltimore, leaving both teams satisfied with their outcomes. Meanwhile, with the recent arrival of tight end Jonnu Smith in Pittsburgh and the emergence of Brevyn Spann-Ford in Dallas, speculation has arisen about potential tight end trades involving both teams. Some analysts suggest Dallas could pursue Steelers' tight end Darnell Washington or consider trading their own Luke Schoonmaker, but given Dallas' existing depth at the position, such moves are seen as unlikely. Overall, the Cowboys' off-season strategy has focused on bolstering their receiving options while weighing opportunities to maximize value from their tight end surplus.
