Dallas acquired Pickens in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers last month, and the Cowboys only had to give up a third-round pick for next year and a 2027 fifth-round pick in the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDealing with CeeDee [Lamb] and him opens things up for them,\u201d an NFC East coach told ESPN via Fowler.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dallas now has a strong one-two punch in the passing game with Pickens teaming up with Lamb. The unnamed AFC personnel executive sees that, too, but noted one concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019ll be a big piece there,\u201d the AFC personnel executive told ESPN. \u201cWhen he\u2019s covered, he\u2019s really open. I know the concerns are there, but I think having an already established passing game with veterans to help him along, and the fact he\u2019s in a contract year, will help keep him in line. If you can tap into what he can do fully, his major ability will shine through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pickens had 174 receptions for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns in his three seasons with the
