The Dallas Cowboys are making room in the wide receiver corps for Pittsburgh Steelers star George Pickens, who was acquired in a trade earlier this week. Pickens comes to the Cowboys after three seasons with the Steelers filled with uncertainty both on and off the field.

George Pickens didn't put any pressure on the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade him before being dealt to the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters on Friday for the first time since the deal, Steelers general manager Omar Khan explained that Pickens never requested a trade.

While the club had planned to go into the season with Pickens and recently acquired DK Metcalf paired together, Khan remains confident in the group behind Metcalf, which includes Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Scott Miller and veteran Robert Woods, who signed last week.
