Dez Bryant's Strong Reaction to Cowboys' Revamped Offense

Former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant reacted to the team's blockbuster trade that landed another talented pass catcher, George Pickens, to team up with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.

After three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pickens has found his way to Dallas. The Cowboys were heavily criticized during the offseason for their lack of aggressiveness in free agency and the draft, but Jerry Jones pulled off a move nobody saw coming.

Dallas received Pickens and a sixth-round pick in the 2027 draft for a third-round selection in next year's draft and a fifth-round pick in 2027.

Pickens left Pittsburgh after playing 48 games and tallying 174 receptions, 2,841 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. He never had a consistent quarterback at Acrisure Stadium, catching passes from Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, Mitch Trubisky, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields during his tenure with the Steelers.

He can start fresh with Prescott throwing to him, which makes the Cowboys' offense a serious threat to the rest of the NFC. Bryant didn't hide his excitement about Pickens joining an offense that looked better after the 2025 NFL draft.

The former wide receiver shared a graphic that showed Prescott with rookie running back Jaydon Blue, Lamb, Pickens and veteran tight end Jake Ferguson. He added a seven-word reaction to hype up the new-look offense.

"This is some dangerous (expletive) right here," Bryant tweeted on Wednesday.

After a down year with Mike McCarthy on the sideline, the Cowboys promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach. They are starting a new era with Schottenheimer, who will have many weapons to work with to try to take the Cowboys back to the top of the league.

Pickens' antics raised many eyebrows within the Steelers fan base, but playing with two veterans such as Prescott and Lamb could help him make better decisions on the field.
