The Dallas Cowboys know that this season is going to be big for the future of their franchise.\u00a0 After changing head coaches and getting a healthy Dak Prescott back, fans expect this team to compete for a playoff spot at minimum.\u00a0 Missing the playoffs again could result in some big time changes within the organization.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers discussed a trade that would have changed\u00a0everything:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Both teams made a splash in the\u00a0NFL\u00a0Draft last week, with the Cowboys adding nine players while the Steelers recruited seven. Although they did not pick any names who immediately set their cities on fire, the teams addressed key areas of need, taking players who could fill voids in their offensive line and at the running back position.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, one insider is claiming that they began talks over a deal that would have landed Dallas a notable wide receiver who is one of the best in the league.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to The Athletic\u2019s\u00a0Dianna Russini, the Cowboys were one of the teams that discussed a potential move for George Pickens ahead of the draft, though it\u2019s now expected that talks will fizz out on the back of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cowboys were one of the teams that discussed bringing in the Steelers\u2019 wideout, sources tell me,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Russini shared via X on Tuesday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
