Dak Prescott is taking a firm stance on George Pickens trade rumors

Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott expressed his thoughts about trade rumors surrounding wide receiver George Pickens very clear.

Prescott and Pickens have meshed well as teammates throughout the 2025 NFL season. They have connected many times for explosive plays and huge touchdowns as a force for opposing defenses to deal with.

However, Pickens is nearing the end of his rookie contract, having signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022. While Dallas makes a final decision in negotiations with him, trade rumors have surfaced that the team could try to get a long-term package for him.

However, Prescott seems to be firmly against the ideaaccording to reporter Clarence Hill Jr. He asked the quarterback about people who think the team should trade Pickens, to which Prescott gave him a crystal clear reaction.

“When asked quarterback Dak Prescott about people who think they should trade George Pickens at the deadline to make sure the Cowboys get something for him if they don’t resign him, he looked at me like I had two heads. Prescott wants Pickens here long term,” Hill wrote.
