Cowboys Rumors: Humiliating Loss May Lead to $27M Trade Request

Anthony Palacios reports that wide receiver George Pickens could request a trade from the Dallas Cowboys after a frustrating 2-4 start to the 2026 NFL season. Dallas franchise-tagged Pickens after acquiring him last offseason, but the franchise failed to sign him to a long-term contract extension, leaving his future with the team in question.

Palacios argues that the Cowboys may look to acquire future draft capital for Pickens before the November 10 trade deadline, especially if they lose their upcoming matchup to the Philadelphia Eagles. With quarterback Dak Prescott struggling and Stephen Jones noting the financial challenge of carrying two top receiver contracts alongside CeeDee Lamb, several contending franchises reportedly maintain interest in a trade.
