đ„Former Pittsburgh WR Fires Shot at Old Team, Vows Super Bowl Glory for Dallas Cowboys
Dallas, TX â July 9, 2025
The NFL world is buzzing as former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, now a Dallas Cowboy, has unleashed a fiery statement aimed at his old team while promising to deliver Super Bowl glory to his new squad, sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The bold declaration has ignited Cowboys Nation and reignited old rivalries.
Pickens, traded to the Cowboys from the Steelers on May 7, 2025, for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, didnât hold back during a recent media session. âPittsburgh didnât see my valueâtoo busy with their drama,â he said, a clear jab at the Steelersâ decision to move on. âIâm here to bring a winning culture to Dallas and win that Super Bowl with Dak and CeeDee. This is my time.â The 24-year-oldâs comments reflect his frustration with inconsistent quarterback play and off-field scrutiny in Pittsburgh, where he posted 174 catches for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns over three seasons.

The trade, which sent shockwaves through the league, paired Pickens with All-Pro CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott, whoâs recovering from a 2024 hamstring injury but threw for 4,516 yards in his last full season. Pickensâ 2024 statsâ59 catches for 900 yards and 3 touchdownsâshow his big-play potential, and his vow to âbring gloryâ aligns with the Cowboysâ Super Bowl LX ambitions after a 7-10 season.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer backed Pickensâ confidence, saying, âGeorgeâs drive is contagiousâheâs ready to prove himself.â Fans on social platforms are hyped, with posts found on X chanting âPickens to the Super Bowl!â and âBurn Pittsburgh down!â The Steelersâ acquisition of DK Metcalf may have signaled Pickensâ exit, but his departure has left a void theyâre scrambling to fill.
With $32 million in cap space and training camp set for July 21, Pickensâ bold pledge adds fuel to Dallasâ offseason fire. Can he transform his words into a championship run, or will this shot at Pittsburgh backfire? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates.
