Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talked about a trade being in the works, and he was true to his word. The long-suffering franchise added a receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb by landing George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Even if Rodgers doesn't end up with the Steelers, Cooper's route-running precision would also fit well if they have to rely on Mason Rudolph or rookie Will Howard because he will always be in the right spot if they can throw with anticipation.

Before the 2025 NFL Draft, the czar of the Dallas Cowboys noted that he had a couple of irons in the fire with "two pretty substantive trades" in the works. One of those has since come to fruition with Dallas executing a deal to acquire wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
