CINCINNATI — The George Pickens era in Pittsburgh looks like it’s coming to an end. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Dallas Cowboys are finalizing a trade to acquire the wide receiver from the Steelers. He is entering the final year of his current NFL deal and Schefter noted the compensation will be draft picks coming back to Pittsburgh.

The fourth-year wideout has 174 catches for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns in his Steelers career. Against the Bengals, Pickens hauled in 16 catches for 413 yards and 4 touchdowns in six games.

Pittsburgh is still waiting on a playing decision from Aaron Rodgers to fill its wide-open quarterback role. Now, he’ll have one less target to attack with if he picks the Steelers to keep playing.
