To clear a slot on its offseason roster for Pickens, Dallas waived wide receiver Seth Williams, who played at Paul Bryant High School in Cottondale and Auburn. Williams joined the Cowboys’ practice squad on Oct. 8. He had re-signed with Dallas in January.

The Pittsburgh Steelers finally were able to trade George Pickens, with the Dallas Cowboys being the winner of the sweepstakes for the talented wide receiver. Dallas will send a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick to Pittsburgh, while the Steelers will also include a 2027 sixth-round pick in the Pickens deal.

The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a blockbuster trade on Wednesday morning, and it could be signaling a major shift in the franchise.
