‘One Of Those Guys’: NFL Network’s Michael Robinson Pitches George Pickens Trade From Dallas Cowboys To Kansas City Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In a segment NFL Network posted late Sunday night, analyst Michael Robinson said the Dallas Cowboys should be sellers at the trade deadline and send wide receiver George Pickens to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 3 p.m. CT. Pickens is playing the 2026 season on the franchise tag. He was inactive for Sunday’s 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts because of a hamstring injury, and Dallas is 4-5 at the midpoint of the season.

Robinson said a trade like that would take a lot to get done. “George Pickens is one of them ones, right?” Robinson said. “He’s one of those guys at the wide receiver position.”
Robinson pitched Pickens as a deep threat for Kansas City. “When I look at Kansas City, wide receivers have led them in receiving only three out of eight games this season, right?” Robinson explained. “A lot of times, it’s Travis Kelce, the matchup nightmare on their offense. Could you imagine if Patrick Mahomes had an uber-talented receiver, an uber-talented X receiver, that he can go three-by-one and watch the coverage completely rotate to him?”
Running back Kenneth Walker III is in his first season with the Chiefs after four with the Seattle Seahawks. “You think Kenneth Walker, who’s already having a hell of a year, you think he wouldn’t like this guy to be involved in that offense as well?” Robinson continued.
Jerry Jones Has Said Dallas Cowboys Will Not Sell
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said last week that Dallas would not sell players before the deadline. Jones said he was much more likely to add to the roster than take away from it.
Pickens was ruled out about 90 minutes before kickoff in Indianapolis after a week of limited practices. The Cowboys still finished with 508 yards of offense. Pickens had 2 catches for 48 yards in the Nov. 1 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals that dropped Dallas to 3-5.
The Cowboys host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. CT on FOX.
