The move will hopefully breathe life into a Cowboys offense that’s been on a rollercoaster in the last few years.</p><p>According to NFL insider Ben Solak, the Cowboys’ nifty move <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46079293/2025-nfl-season-x-factors-all-32-teams-key-players" rel="noopener">might be the most impactful move</a> of the offseason. Why? Simply put, the Cowboys have addressed the one poisiton that they’ve failed to fix in the last few years. With the departure of Amari Cooper in 2022, Dallas cycled through failed WR2 experiments. Now, Pickens seems to be the experiment that’s most likely to succeed.</p><p>“Pickens is unquestionably the most talented running mate Lamb has had since prime Cooper and has the capability of leading the Cowboys in targets any week,” Solak wrote on ESPN. “Dallas’ running game looks suspect, and its defense looks beatable, so the wide receiver room really needs to help Dak Prescott reach 400-plus-yard outings for the Cowboys to compete. The Pickens-Lamb duo has legitimate Ja’Marr Chase-Tee Higginsand A.J. Brown-DeVonta Smith potential.”</p><p>The Cowboys have at least had solid tight end play from Dalton Schultz and Jake Ferguson in the last few years. That being said, Cooper’s departure created a massive void at the WR2 position. Dallas tried to plug in different people at that position, to varying degrees of failure. Michael Gallup looked promising, but was often injured during his time in Dallas. Jalen Tolbert was good, but not as great as fans hoped. And Jonathan Mingo? That move was doomed from the moment it was announced.</p><p>On paper, Pickens is the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-george-pickens-wide-range-outcomes">perfect complement to Lamb in the receiving game</a>. Lamb is a route master, adept at creating opportunities from the slot with his route-running. He’s made a living feeding off touches from the slot position. On the other hand, Pickens excelled at one skill with the Steelers: playing deep. Pickens was an X receiver in all aspects: he ran fast, and he could catch contested deep balls with terrifying accuracy.</p><p>In theory, these two should feed off of each other’s strengths and elevate their play. With the Cowboys being projected to struggle on the defensive end, the pressure is on the Cowboys’ passing attack to carry the load.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-george-pickens-goes-full-randy-moss-crazy-catch-practice">Pickens’ impressive Randy Moss catches have gone viral</a>, Schottenheimer revealed how George has impressed him in other ways. It all started with an uncomfortable conversation in the Cowboys’ head coach’s office that got the relationship between the two off on the right start.</p><p>Schottenheimer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdFpaCNSbsY" rel="noopener">revealed</a> how it all played out between him and Pickens.</p><p>“I think from the time that we got George, and we went into my office together and shot some free throws, talked and got to know each other, he made that [that he wants to be coached] very clear,” Brian Schottenheimer said on Tuesday. “He’s like, ‘Coach, I’m thrilled to be here, No. 1. I want to be coached. I want to be great. I want to be a great player. I want to continue to be great. So, lean into me. Be tough on me. Tell me the things I need to do.’</p><p>“The way I am, I start with the relationship piece of it because I think you can coach people hard and coach them the right way when you have those relationships, but that doesn’t surprise me. He’s been nothing but incredible in terms of the way he’s worked with us, the way he’s communicated with us,” Schottenheimer concluded.</p><p>Pickens seems to be far removed from his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the frustration that came with it for head coach Mike Tomlin, who told the wide receiver to grow up last season. Pickens is also building a strong bond with Cowboys All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who also sang George’s praises.</p><p>“We embrace every opportunity together with each other, learning from each other,” Lamb said. “If I got a question for him, he answers, and vice versa. We just see different things like different POVs.”</p><h2><b>George Pickens on the difference between Cowboys, Eagles</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Cowboys-wide-receiver-George-Pickens-2.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>When Cowboys wide receiver <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-george-pickens-reveals-biggest-difference-steelers-dallas">George Pickens discussed the Cowboys and the Eagles</a>, he cited the differences. Pickens didn’t hold back in discussing <a href="https://x.com/jonmachota/status/1932893776474980562" rel="noopener">his current and former teammates</a>, per The Athletic’s Jon Machota.</p><p>“Just the guys and the team speed. The team speed applies to the scheme too. If you got a lot of fast guys, you’re gonna definitely have a different scheme.’ Pickens said this is the most speed he’s played with since his time at Georgia.”</p><p>The Cowboys will hope to utilize that speed throughout what they hope will be a successful 2025 NFL season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There are multiple players who are building momentum this summer, including wide receiver George Pickens. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-rival-coach-warning-nfl-george-pickens-trade">The offseason trade acquisition</a> regaled all who attended Tuesday’s open practice.</p><p>Pickens channeled his inner Randy Moss and <a href="https://x.com/jonmachota/status/1955365328420213246" rel="noopener">jumped up to haul in</a> an impressive catch in front of 2023 First-Team All-Pro DaRon Bland, via The Athletic’s Jon Machota. Oohs and aahs echoed throughout the area, as fans acknowledged the 6-foot-3 pass-catcher’s undeniable ability. Pickens is providing a welcome escape from all the Cowboys drama. Who saw that coming, huh?</p><p>It is far too early for everyone to celebrate, but the 2022 second-round draft pick is looking like a dynamic addition to an offense that features 2023-24 MVP runner-up Dak Prescott and two-time Second-Team All-Pro CeeDee Lamb. He was unable to reach true stardom with the Pittsburgh Steelers, succumbing to his frustrations and struggling to make a consistent impact. However, Pickens still possesses the physical traits to prosper in this league.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">George Pickens 👀 <a href="https://t.co/xjJMLUU3XS">pic.twitter.com/xjJMLUU3XS</a></p><p>— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) <a href="https://twitter.com/jonmachota/status/1955365328420213246?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 12, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>George Pickens is positioned to have a notable season with Cowboys</b></h2><p>Despite all the concerns surrounding Parsons’ trade request and ownership’s negotiation tactics, Dallas affords the 24-year-old wide receiver a great opportunity to explode this season. While operating as the No. 2 offensive weapon behind Lamb, he should face less pressure (both defensively and externally) and should receive more red-zone targets. The Cowboys have multiple question marks on their roster, but when Prescott is healthy, this passing attack is usually at least formidable.</p><p>With both <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-dez-bryant-take-dak-prescott-wr-situation">CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens sharing the field</a>, the WR room has a chance to be among the best in the NFL. Training camp practices will only elicit so much enthusiasm, though. The Cowboys must produce these results during the regular season.</p><p>There is a palpable sense of anxiety swirling around this franchise, even more than usual. A dissatisfied star pass-rusher, unproven head coach, potentially vulnerable secondary and banged-up offensive line all have fans on edge.</p><p>Those issues may not go away anytime soon, either. But an impactful playmaker is alleviating some of that stress. Pickens, who recorded 174 receptions for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns in three seasons with the Black and Gold, aims to thrive in the final year of his contract. Based on everything else that has transpired, he has quickly become one of the most important members of this squad.</p><p>If Tuesday was a preview of what is to come this fall, then AT&amp;T Stadium is going to be a joyous place. At least when the Cowboys are on offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
