New Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens racked up 2,841 receiving yards over his first three seasons in the NFL, despite a less-than-stellar group of quarterbacks throwing him the ball.
How might the 24-year-old WR fare with the 2023 NFL MVP runner-up as his QB?
One former NFL general manager seems to think pretty well.
Mike Tannenbaum, the former GM of the New York Jets and current NFL analyst for ESPN, is bullish on Pickens’ 2025 season outlook in a Cowboys uniform.

On ESPN’s “Get Up”, Tannenbaum pointed to his experience in having WRs on contract years in predicting a successful season for Pickens.
“Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, those were guys that either had one or two years left on their deal. You’re gonna get the best of whatever they have. George Pickens is going to be a point scorer. It’s really hard to double both CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson and George Pickens. I think he’ll have an exceptionally good year,” Tannenbaum said.
Pickens is entering the final year of his four-year rookie contract. He is represented by David Mulugheta, who also serves as the agent for star Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons.
