Cowboys Trade for Pickens; Steelers Add Metcalf

News summary

George Pickens, acquired by the Dallas Cowboys in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has officially switched to No. 3 after a jersey number swap with edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. Pickens initially wore No. 13 at OTAs before making the change, and his previous No. 14 from Pittsburgh was unavailable in Dallas. The NFL's 2021 rule change allowing skill players to wear single-digit numbers made Pickens' new choice possible. The Cowboys see Pickens as a strong No. 2 receiver to complement CeeDee Lamb and bolster the team's offense. Meanwhile, the Steelers addressed their wide receiver needs following the trade by signing DK Metcalf. Cowboys fans are looking forward to the new receiving duo as the team prepares for the season.
