Cowboys' Pickens: Luxury or Necessity?

The Dallas Cowboys boasts one of the top-wide receiver duos in the league with CD-LAM

and George Pickens, but their defense tanked the whole.

Season, knocking them out of the playoffs.

Pickens exploded for a career year in 2025 after the Cowboys traded for him from the Pittsburgh

Steelers, while LAM battled injuries.

But state elite as always, former Cowboy Jesse Holley calls Pickens a luxury, not a necessity,

calling out the offense crushed it multiple times over the last five seasons.

Without him, the real driver is quarterback Dak Prescott's health, so Dallas could trade

Pickens, snag a cheaper number-to-receiver, and pump that cash into, fixing the defense.

With risks of Pickens slipping back into trouble once he cashes in big, the smart move is

dealing him before the draft and grabbing a budget friendly.

Replacement to build a balanced squad.
